SECTION 606 "A"
SECTION 606 "A" is a Texas oil lease in Young County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by Merit Energy Company. It has 12 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from November 1996 to August 2026, totalling 652,362 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 $2.1M, with roughly $505K 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 750 barrels a month, about 62 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was October 2016, at 1,520 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.
