The Curry Unit is the giant of Stephens County. With 162 active wells — including some originally spudded in 1921 (105 years ago!) — it’s a textbook case of a long-life Caddo waterflood that just keeps producing. February 2026 monthly oil output was 12,116 barrels, an average of about 75 bbl/well/month or roughly 2.5 BOPD per well: classic stripper economics.
The unit has seen modern operator investment in the form of BASA’s 2018 directional re-entry program. Curry Unit 1033 (a directional well drilled in 2018 into Caddo Disposal) produced 1,503 bbl in February 2026 — the #9 individual well in the entire county. Curry Unit 1816 (vertical, 2008 vintage) produced 791 bbl — #17 in the county.
Many original Curry Unit lease bonus payments date to the 1917-1921 Breckenridge oil boom, meaning current mineral interests have typically passed through 3-5 generations of heirs.
Mineral interests in the Curry Unit typically take one of these forms:
Producing royalty interest — your tract’s contribution to the unit’s monthly revenue, paid by the operator
Non-producing mineral interest — fee mineral ownership in a tract currently outside active producing zones
Overriding royalty interest (ORRI) — royalty carved out of a working interest
Non-participating royalty interest (NPRI) — royalty interest with no leasing or development rights
Many Curry Unit interests trace their original lease bonus payment to the 1917-1925 Breckenridge oil boom era, with current ownership typically having passed through 3-5 generations of heirs.
