BERDA
BERDA is a Texas oil lease in Upton County, Railroad Commission district 7C, operated by Henry Petroleum LP. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from June 2006 to August 2026, totalling 130,767 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 $264K, with roughly $42K 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 25 barrels a month, about 12 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was September 2016, at 368 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.
