FERGUSON-MCKNIGHT
FERGUSON-MCKNIGHT is a Texas oil lease in Zavala County, Railroad Commission district 01, operated by Newfield Exploration Company. It has 22 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from August 2010 to August 2026, totalling 1,254,974 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 $34.8M, with roughly $11.6M 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 18,913 barrels a month, about 860 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was January 2025, at 50,955 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 18% 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.
