Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $2.76 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.27 million from the prior month distribution period as a result of a decrease in sales volumes and oil prices compared to the prior month. Boaz Energy (as defined below) advised the Trustee that the decrease in sales price was primarily attributable to a lower NYMEX average oil price in August and a worsening in the regional differentials to NYMEX, primarily the Midland Cushing differential and the West Texas Sour differential. For additional information on the regional differentials, see the Operational Update posted this month to the Trust’s website athttp://www.permrock.com/files/doc_downloads/PermRock-Royalty-Trust-10-09-2018-Operational-Update_vF.pdf.
Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.22 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.06 million from the prior month distribution period as a result of a decrease in sales volumes. Boaz Energy advised the Trustee that the decrease in sales volumes was primarily attributable to a gas plant being down in Crane County, which decrease in volumes more than offset an increase in the average price.
Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses and workover expenses, were $0.57 million, an increase of $0.05 million from the prior month. Severance and ad valorem taxes were $0.29 million, a decrease of $0.01 million from the prior month.
