DALLAS, Aug. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Permian Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE: PBT) ("Permian") today declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.047933 per unit, payable on September 15, 2016, to unit holders of record on August 31, 2016.
This month's distribution increased from the previous month due to an increase in the net production of both oil and gas for the underlying properties. With the increased pricing of production, the Waddell Ranch Properties contributed $1,406,861 to this month's distribution.
WADDELL RANCH
Production for the underlying properties at the Waddell Ranch was 67,190 barrels of oil and 566,721 Mcf of gas. The production for the Trust's allocated portion of the Waddell Ranch was 25,900 barrels of oil and 215,419 Mcf of gas. The average price for oil was $45.78 per bbl and for gas was $2.52 per Mcf. This would primarily reflect production and pricing for the month of June for oil and the month of May for gas. These allocated volumes were significantly impacted by the pricing of both oil and gas.
This production and pricing for the Underlying Properties resulted in revenues for the Waddell Ranch Properties of $3,840,531. Deducted from these would be the Lease Operating Expense (LOE) of $1,399,081, taxes of $369,423 and Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) of $196,213 totaling $1,964,716 resulting in a Net Profit of $1,875,815 for the month of July. With the Trust's Net Profit Interest (NPI) of 75% of the underlying properties, this would result in a net contribution by the Waddell Ranch Properties of $1,406,861 to this month's distribution.
ConocoPhillips has revised the 2016 capital expenditure budget which will total $2.45 million for the entire Waddell Ranch Project and $1.08 million net to the Trust. There will be no new drilled wells, no recompletions, and only some facilities projects.
