Texas Gulf Coast Yegua Prospect

Sponsor was offering a single-well project in the Texas gulf coast.  Estimated ROI was 5X-10X over a ten-year period based off initial production of 300 BBL/D.  

After reviewing online production data, the last well to achieve that level of production was completed over 25 years ago.
Outcome: Client avoided a likely unprofitable investment.

Real Deals We've Analyzed

Powder River Basin Unconventional

Sponsor offered working interest in six wells operated by EOG and Peak Powder River for ~2.6MM.  Claimed management fee per sponsor was 6%.  

This group of wells had been evaluated by management and actual cost was ~1.3MM.  

Outcome: Client avoided investing in a project with 100% mark-up.

Wyoming Turner Well

Sponsor's projected EUR: 850,000 BOE
Our revised EUR using offset wells: 520,000 BOE

The sponsor's forecast was inflated by 63%. Based on nearby well performance, this deal would have taken years longer to pay back than promised.

Outcome:
Client avoided a likely unprofitable investment.

Real Deals We've Analyzed

ND Bakken WI Acquisition

Sponsor estimated payout: 10-12 months
Our analysis showed realistic payout: 24-30 months

The sponsor drastically underestimated decline rates and operating costs. The real payout would have been more than double their projection.

Outcome:
Client renegotiated from 12% WI to 7% WI, protecting their downside.

Top Oil & Gas Wells – DJ Basin (March 2026 Production)
Published June 2026 

Based on the most recently released state-reported production data. 

Each month, we track publicly available production data to highlight top-performing oil and gas wells across major U.S. basins.

This report is designed to help investors understand where capital is being deployed effectively, which operators are executing well, and which geologic trends continue to outperform.

DJ Basin

The DJ Basin has become one of the most established and economically attractive oil and natural gas producing regions in the western United States, recognized for its stacked-pay potential, strong well economics, and consistent horizontal drilling results. Continued advancements in drilling and completion techniques, including longer lateral lengths, optimized well spacing, and improved fracture stimulation designs, have contributed to stronger recoveries and competitive returns across a range of commodity prices.

Developed by many of the industry’s most experienced public and private energy companies, the DJ Basin continues to attract significant capital due to its liquids-rich production profile, proven Niobrara and Codell formations, and extensive operating history. The basin’s combination of repeatable drilling results, established infrastructure, access to major markets, and substantial remaining inventory has positioned it as one of the most active and economically competitive unconventional resource plays in North America.

Below are several of the top-performing DJ Basin wells reported during March 2026 production.

About the Production Data


This report displays one representative well per drilling unit for consistency. In certain units, including the Tulip West unit, multiple wells would have ranked among the top performers based on production; however, only one well per unit is shown to avoid over-representing a single drilling unit. Production data is reported with a delay, as most state agencies and data providers release verified figures approximately 60–90 days after the production month. Accordingly, this report reflects the most recent verified data available, which for this edition is March 2026 production.
