DALLAS, April 6,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Argent Trust Company, as
Trustee of the Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE: SBR), today declared a
cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial
interest of $0.699540 per unit,
payable on April 28, 2023, to unit
holders of record on April 17, 2023.
Sabine's cash distribution
history, current and prior year financial reports and tax
information booklets, a link to filings made with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website at
http://www.sbr-sabine.com/. Additionally, printed reports
can be requested and are mailed free of charge.
This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for
January 2023 and the gas production
for December 2022. Preliminary
production volumes are approximately 68,608 barrels of oil and
1,259,109 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately
$80.65 per barrel of oil and
$4.71 per Mcf of gas.
This month's distribution is higher than the previous month's
primarily due to increased production due to the timing of receipts
through the end of the month as compared to the previous month's
timing of receipts, including an increase in oil pricing.
The production from all the new horizontal gas wells in
Panola County, Texas, has
contributed approximately $1,642,812
reflecting December production including the recent new wells. All
volumes and pricing are included in the tables below.
Additionally, for the other three horizontal wells, also in
Panola County, there were two
months receipts totaling $544,000
posted for this month's distribution.
As more regular monthly receipts are made in the months to come,
additional information will be made available.

Revenues are only distributed after they are received, verified,
and posted. Most energy companies normally issue payment of
royalties on or about the 25th of every month, and
depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not
received until after the revenue posting on the last business day
of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted
within 30 days of receipt.
Due to the timing of the end of the month of March, approximately
$1,663,000 of revenue received will
be posted in the following month of April in addition to normal
receipts during April. Since the close of business in March and
prior to this press release, $2,493,000 in revenue has been received.
The 2022 tax information packets were mailed in early March. A copy
of Sabine's 2022 tax information
booklet is now available on Sabine's website. In addition to the tax
booklet the Sabine website will
also offers two simple calculators for computing the income and
expense amounts and the cost depletion. The calculators have been
updated with the 2022 tax information.
Sabine Royalty Trust, as it does after the end of each year, had a
year-end Reserve Report prepared in accordance with the Securities
and Exchange Commission's requirements. This report provides an
evaluation of the estimated asset value as of December 31 of each year, which can be used to
estimate the remaining life of the Trust.
The estimated net proved reserves, as of January 1, 2023, attributable to the Trust from
the properties appraised are approximately 5.9 million barrels of
oil and 47.4 billion cubic feet of gas with a future net value of
approximately $657,947,000 with a
discounted value at 10% of $327,149,000. With these estimated quantities of
this year's reserve estimate of 5.9 million barrels of oil and 47.4
billion cubic feet of gas remaining, it could be estimated that the
Trust still has a life span of 8 to 10 years. The report is an
exhibit to the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed on
February 28, 2023 and is available to
all unitholders at this time on the SEC website and Sabine's website.
The 2022 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the January 1, 2023 Reserve Summary are available on
the Sabine website at
