PRODUCING ACREAGE, WELLS AND DRILLING
Waddell Ranch Properties
. The net profits/overriding royalty interest in the Waddell Ranch properties is the
largest asset of the Trust. The mineral interests in the Waddell Ranch, from which such net royalty interests are carved, vary from 37.5% (Trust net interest) to 50% (Trust net interest) in 78,715 gross (34,205 net) producing acres. A majority of
the proved reserves are attributable to six fields: Dune, Sand Hills (Judkins), Sand Hills (McKnight), Sand Hills (Tubb), University-Waddell (Devonian) and Waddell. At December 31, 2017, the Waddell Ranch properties contained 790 gross (348
net) productive oil wells, 158 gross (65 net) productive gas wells and 250 gross (102 net) injection wells.
BROG is operator of
record of the Waddell Ranch properties. All field, technical and accounting operations have been contracted by agreements between the working interest owners and Schlumberger Integrated Project Management (IPM) and Riverhill Capital Corporation
(Riverhill Capital), but remain under the direction of BROG.
Six major fields on the Waddell Ranch properties account for
more than 80% of the total production. In the six fields, there are 12 producing zones ranging in depth from 2,800 to 10,600 feet. Most prolific of these zones are the Grayburg and San Andres, which produce from depths between 2,800 and 3,400 feet.
Also productive from the San Andres are the Sand Hills (Judkins) gas field and the Sand Hills (McKnight) oil field, the Dune (Grayburg/San Andres) oil field, and the Waddell (Grayburg/San Andres) oil field.
The Dune and Waddell oil fields are productive from both the Grayburg and San Andres formations. The Sand Hills (Tubb) oil fields produce from
the Tubb formation at depths averaging 4,300 feet, and the University Waddell (Devonian) oil field is productive from the Devonian formation between 8,400 and 9,200 feet.
The Waddell Ranch properties are mature producing properties, and all of the major oil fields are currently being waterflooded for the purpose
of facilitating enhanced recovery. Proved reserves and estimated future net revenues attributable to the properties are included in the reserve reports summarized below. BROG does not own the full working interest in any of the tracts constituting
the Waddell Ranch properties and, therefore, implementation of any development programs will require approvals of other working interest holders as well as BROG. In addition, implementation of any development programs will be dependent upon oil and
gas prices currently being received and anticipated to be received in the future. There were 0 gross (0 net) drill wells completed on the Waddell Ranch properties during 2017. At December 31, 2017, there were 0 drill wells and 1 workover in
progress on the Waddell Ranch properties. There were 0 gross (0 net) drill wells completed on the Waddell Ranch properties during 2016. At December 31, 2016, there were 0 drill wells and 1 workover in progress on the Waddell Ranch properties.
There were 12 gross (5 net) drill wells completed on the Waddell Ranch properties during 2015. At December 31, 2015, there were 0 drill wells and 0 workovers in progress on the Waddell Ranch properties.
BROG has advised the Trustee that the total amount of capital expenditures for 2017 with regard to the Waddell Ranch properties totaled
$3.2 million (gross). Capital expenditures include the cost of remedial and maintenance activities. This amount spent is approximately $3.2 million of the budgeted amount projected by BROG for 2017.
BROG has advised the Trustee that the capital expenditures budget for 2018 totals approximately $4.3 million (gross) ($1.9 million
net to the Trust), of which approximately $3.2 million (gross) is attributable to facilities. The remaining $1.0 million would be attributable to 2 recompletions. Accordingly, there is a 26% increase
in capital expenditures for 2018
as compared with the 2017 capital expenditures. The major reason for the variance is the increased prices. There will be 0 new drill wells and 2 recompletions in 2018 as compared to 0 new drill wells and 1 recompletion in 2017.
Texas Royalty Properties
. The Texas Royalty properties consist of royalty interests in mature producing oil
fields, such as Yates, Wasson, Sand Hills, East Texas, Kelly-Snyder, Panhandle Regular, N. Cowden, Todd, Keystone, Kermit, McElroy, Howard-Glasscock, Seminole and others located in 33 counties across Texas. The Texas Royalty properties consist of
approximately 125 separate royalty interests containing approximately 303,000 gross (approximately 51,000 net) producing acres. Approximately 41% of the future net revenues discounted at 10% attributable to Texas Royalty properties are located
in the Wasson and Yates fields. Detailed information concerning the number of wells on royalty properties is not generally available to the owners of royalty interests. Consequently, an accurate count of the number of wells located on the Texas
Royalty properties cannot readily be obtained.
