Enduro Royalty Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distribution
March 20 2015 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced
a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial
interest of $0.037109 per unit, payable on April 14, 2015 to
unitholders of record on March 31, 2015. The distribution primarily
represents oil production during the month of December 2014 and
natural gas production during November 2014.
The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas
sales volumes and average prices attributable to the current and
prior month net profits interest calculations.
Underlying Sales Volumes

Current Month 79,802 318,830 $ 57.49 $ 3.54 Prior Month 78,027
432,627 $ 69.92 $ 3.94
Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust
totaled $4.6 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.9
million from the prior month calculation. The decrease was due to a
22 percent decline in NYMEX oil prices, partially offset by
increased sales volumes resulting from one more production day in
December.
Natural gas receipts decreased $0.6 million from the prior
month, totaling $1.1 million, primarily due to decreased sales
volumes from one operator in the Elm Grove field of the East
Texas/North Louisiana region and reduced sales price realizations.
In January 2015, Enduro received notice from one of its
operators that the operator intended to charge the working interest
owners their proportionate share of unused firm capacity
reservation fees since January 2012. The operator plans to recoup
these fees in check remittances in 2015 and continue to charge the
related monthly fees going forward. In January 2015, the operator
withheld payment in partial settlement of approximately $400,000 in
firm capacity reservation fees related to the Underlying
Properties, and as a result, the current month distribution does
not include any revenues or volumes from the associated wells,
causing a decline from the prior month. In the prior month
distribution, these wells averaged daily natural gas sales of
approximately 3,250 Mcf/D. Enduro Resource Partners, the sponsor of
the Trust, does not believe these fees are appropriate and is
questioning the exact amount of the fees that will be withheld and
whether such fees can be withheld from working interest owners and
retroactively recouped.
The current distribution includes receipts from 19 of 20 Rocker
B wells producing through December 2014. In total, the 19 Rocker B
wells contributed $0.4 million in oil cash receipts for the current
distribution period. Total average daily oil sales volumes for the
current distribution period for the properties underlying the Trust
were approximately 2,570 Bbls/D, of which 235 Bbls/D are
attributable to the Rocker B wells.
Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution
totaled $0.7 million and relate to expenses incurred during January
2015.
Lost Tank Field Update
The Lost Tank 4 Federal 23 has been completed and is currently
producing; however, at this time, the well has not been producing
for a sufficient amount of time to provide a production rate.
