FINCHER
FINCHER is a Texas oil lease in Washington County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Marathon Oil Company. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from March 1995 to August 2026, totalling 64,236 barrels. The lease is intermittent. 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 $1K, with roughly $269 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 17 barrels a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was January 2021, at 864 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.
