BRACKEN, J. A. 503

BRACKEN, J. A. 503 is a Texas oil lease in Van Zandt County, Railroad Commission district 05, operated by Union Oil Company Of California. It has 13 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 494,158 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 $687K, with roughly $127K 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 165 barrels a month, about 13 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2021, at 970 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 22% 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.
