Permian Basin Royalty Trust Announces September Cash Distribution

DALLAS, Sept. 18, 2020

This month's distribution increased from the previous month as the result of rebounding prices for oil but offset by lower prices for gas across the industry. General and administrative expenses were significantly lower this month compared to the previous month. The Trust was advised by Blackbeard that the Waddell Ranch properties were in deficit for the month of July, providing details as to production levels and pricing received. The Texas Royalty Properties reflected an increase in both oil and gas pricing in addition to an increase in both oil and gas production. This reflects the production month of July.

WADDELL RANCH
In reporting July production of the Underlying Properties for this month's press release, production for oil volumes was 49,622 bbls and was priced at about $37.38 per bbl. Production for gas volumes (including gas liquids) was 131,393 mcf and was priced at about $0.98 per mcf. Net revenue for the underlying properties of the Waddell ranch was $2,244,995 for July. Lease Operating Expenses were $1,696,989 and Capital Expenditures were $1,383,171 for July.

TEXAS ROYALTY PROPERTIES
Production for the underlying properties at the Texas Royalties was 20,462 barrels of oil and 15,469 Mcf of gas. The production for the Trust's allocated portion of the Texas Royalties was 17,290 barrels of oil and 13,060 of gas. The average price for oil was $34.37 per bbl and for gas was $3.21 per Mcf. This would primarily reflect production and pricing for the month of July for oil and the month of June for gas. These allocated volumes were impacted by the pricing of both oil and gas. 

This production and pricing for the underlying properties resulted in revenues for the Texas Royalties of $752,970. Deducted from these were taxes of $109,528 resulting in a Net Profit of $643,442 for the month of July. With the Trust's Net Profit Interest (NPI) of 95% of the Underlying Properties, this would result in net contribution by the Texas Royalties of $611,270 to this month's distribution.
