UGLY BIRD
UGLY BIRD is a Texas oil lease in Ward County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Seaboard Operating Co. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from October 2010 to August 2026, totalling 21,498 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 $103K, 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 24 barrels a month, about 12 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was November 2022, at 134 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.
