Business Wire
PNC Bank, National Association, as the successor trustee (the
“Trustee”) of the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) (NYSE:
SJT), today declared a monthly cash distribution to the holders of
its Units of beneficial interest (the “Unit Holders”) of
$4,821,486.55 or $0.103446 per Unit, based primarily upon the
reported production during the month of November 2021. The
distribution is payable February 14, 2022, to the Unit Holders of
record as of January 31, 2022.
For the production month of November 2021, the operator of the
Trust’s subject interests, Hilcorp San Juan L.P. (“Hilcorp”),
reported to the Trust net profits of $6,606,455 ($4,954,841 net
royalty amount to the Trust).
Hilcorp reported $10,122,294 of revenue from the Subject
Interests for the production month of November 2021. The reporting
month of November 2021 includes an estimated $100,000 for
non-operated income. For the Subject Interests, Hilcorp reported
$3,515,839 of production costs during the production month of
November 2021. Production costs consist of $2,168,502 of lease
operating expenses, $1,316,130 of severance taxes and $31,207 of
capital costs.
Based upon information Hilcorp provided to the Trust, gas
volumes for the subject interests for November 2021 totaled
2,135,248 Mcf (2,372,498 MMBtu), as compared to 2,238,507 Mcf
(2,487,230 MMBtu) for October 2021. Dividing revenues by production
volume yielded an average gas price for November 2021 of $4.60 per
Mcf ($4.14 per MMBtu), as compared to an average gas price for
October 2021 of $4.35 per Mcf ($3.92 per MMBtu).
Hilcorp has informed the Trust that it has completed the
implementation of its new accounting system. Hilcorp began
reporting actual, instead of estimated, production for the June
2021 production month (corresponding to the August 2021 Trust
reporting month) and that it intends to continue to report actual
production going forward. The remaining months of non-operated
revenue and non-operated severance tax actualizations for prior
periods will be accounted for and reported in future distribution
reports. At this time, the amount of these actualizations is
unknown. The Trustee will coordinate with Hilcorp on the timing of
any further actualizations and will communicate that timing to the
Unit Holders.
The Trustee also continues to engage with Hilcorp regarding its
ongoing accounting and reporting to the Trust, and the Trust’s
third-party compliance auditors continue to audit all payments made
by Hilcorp to the Trust, including adjustments, actualizations, and
recoupments. The Trustee continues to consult with outside counsel
to review the rights of the Trust with respect to these matters and
to evaluate any available potential legal remedies.
