NELSON
NELSON is a Texas oil lease in Yoakum County, Railroad Commission district 8A, operated by Simmons, L.B. Energy, Inc. It has 3 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 171,471 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 $1.2M, with roughly $271K 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 377 barrels a month, about 126 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was November 2017, at 871 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.
