FOSTER
FOSTER is a Texas oil lease in Schleicher County, Railroad Commission district 7C, operated by Highmount Expl & Prod Texas LLC. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from August 2012 to August 2026, totalling 22,920 barrels. The lease is intermittent. Fitting a decline curve to that history and pricing the remaining production at today's forward curve values the whole lease — a 100% undivided interest — at about $138K, with roughly $19K expected over the next twelve months. An individual royalty owner receives their own decimal interest times that figure. Over the last twelve months on file it averaged 18 barrels a month, about 9 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was September 2016, at 192 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 45% of what they went on to produce, and that measured error is the range shown on the page rather than a confidence of our own devising.
