The oil wells on this property produced 18,400 barrels of oil during the past year that sold at an average sales price of $68 per barrel. Total oil resources of this property are estimated to be 227,500 barrels. The lease provided for an outright payment of $614,250 to the lessor (owner) before drilling could be commenced and an annual rental of $33,120.
