Enduro Royalty Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distribution
March 21 2017 - 8:15AM
Business Wire
Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced
a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial
interest of $0.040901 per unit, payable on April 14, 2017 to
unitholders of record on March 31, 2017. The distribution primarily
represents oil production during the month of December 2016 and
natural gas production during November 2016.
The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas
sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to
the current and prior month net profits interest calculations.
Underlying Sales Volumes
Average Price Oil Natural Gas
Oil Natural Gas Bbls
Bbls/D Mcf Mcf/D (per
Bbl) (per Mcf) Current Month 74,925 2,417 308,189
10,273 $ 51.25 $ 2.50 Prior Month 60,632 2,021 471,853
15,221 $ 42.85 $ 2.61
Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust
totaled $3.8 million for the current month, an increase of $1.2
million from the prior month calculation. The increase in the
current month is primarily due to multiple months of payments on 3
wells in the Permian Basin, 2 of which reached payout in mid-2013,
for which Enduro Resource Partners (“Enduro”), the sponsor of the
Trust, was not previously being paid by the operator. Oil cash
receipts from these wells totaled $0.8 million, representing over 4
years of revenues, and oil volumes totaled approximately 12,100
Bbls for the same period. Excluding the multiple months of receipts
for these wells, oil cash receipts and volumes would have been $3.0
million and approximately 62,800 Bbls (2,025 Bbls/D), respectively,
for the current distribution period. Further, the average received
wellhead price would have been $48.46 per Bbl, as the payments from
several years at higher NYMEX prices increased the average received
oil wellhead price reflected in the table above.
Natural gas cash receipts decreased from $1.2 million in the
prior distribution period to $0.8 million in the current month as a
result of payment timing differences. As previously disclosed, the
previous month’s cash receipts were higher than normal due to
multiple months of payments from an operator in the East
Texas-North Louisiana area that positively impacted the prior
month’s distribution period. Natural gas receipts in the prior
month’s distribution period included 3 months of gas receipts from
this operator, totaling approximately $0.5 million and 210,000
Mcf.
Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating
expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and
transportation expenses, decreased $0.4 million to $2.5 million,
primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease in lease operating
expenses. As previously disclosed, the prior month’s lease
operating expenses included a $0.3 million adjustment from an
operator related to two years of allocated expenses that had not
been previously billed. Capital expenditures were $0.4 million
during the current month. Total direct operating expenses and
capital expenditures relate to expenses incurred during January
2017.
