BUFFALO BAYOU
BUFFALO BAYOU is a Texas oil lease in Stephens County, Railroad Commission district 7B, operated by Brazos River Exploration LLC. It has 3 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from April 2019 to August 2026, totalling 202,539 barrels. The lease is currently producing. 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 $2.0M, with roughly $764K 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 1,067 barrels a month, about 356 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was August 2019, at 8,942 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 17% 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.
