Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $3.6
million for the current month, an increase of $0.4 million from the
prior month distribution period as a result of increased sales volumes
compared to the prior month. The increase in sales volumes was primarily
attributable to three additional days of production in March compared to
February.
Natural gas cash receipts increased from $1.0 million in the prior
distribution period to $1.2 million in the current month primarily due
to an increase in natural gas volumes, driven by payment timing
differences, as well as an increase in the realized natural gas wellhead
price. In addition, during the current distribution period, volumes and
revenues that were previously being withheld due to an overpayment by an
operator in the Permian Basin from several years ago were recouped in
full. This resulted in additional natural gas volumes of 12,804 Mcf for
this distribution period.
Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses,
production and ad valorem taxes, and gathering and transportation
expenses, were $2.2 million, a decrease of $0.4 million from the prior
month. The decrease in direct operating expenses is primarily due to
lower than normal lease operating expenses in the current distribution
period. Capital expenditures were $0.1 million in the current month.
Total direct operating expenses and capital expenditures relate to
expenses incurred in April 2018.
