Enduro Royalty Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distribution
April 18 2017 - 9:15AM
Business Wire
Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced
a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial
interest of $0.035220 per unit, payable on May 12, 2017 to
unitholders of record on April 28, 2017. The distribution primarily
represents oil production during the month of January 2017 and
natural gas production during December 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 62,978 2,032
306,811 9,897 $ 49.07 $ 3.05 Prior Month 74,925 2,417
308,189 10,273 $ 51.25 $ 2.50
Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust
totaled $3.1 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.7
million from the prior month calculation 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 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 prior 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 increased from $0.8 million in the
prior distribution period to $0.9 million in the current month due
to a 22 percent increase in the realized wellhead price as compared
to the prior month. The increase in realized wellhead price was
driven by a 25 percent increase in NYMEX pricing, from $2.87 per
Mcf to $3.59 per Mcf, slightly offset by the differential widening
from 13 percent to 15 percent.
Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating
expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and
transportation expenses, decreased $0.5 million to $1.9 million.
The decrease in direct operating expenses is primarily due to ad
valorem accrual adjustments in the current month distribution,
resulting from actual 2016 ad valorem taxes that were approximately
$0.3 million lower than anticipated. Capital expenditures increased
$0.2 million from the previous period’s $0.4 million, primarily
related to increases in actual and anticipated expenses incurred
due to development in the Permian Basin. Total direct operating
expenses and capital expenditures relate to expenses incurred
during February 2017.
