CC 48 WEST
CC 48 WEST is a Texas oil lease in Upton County, Railroad Commission district 7C, operated by Apache Corporation. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from March 2016 to August 2026, totalling 377,793 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 $5.0M, with roughly $997K 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 1,075 barrels a month, about 537 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2016, at 18,983 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.
