San Juan Basin Royalty Trust
Declares Monthly Cash Distribution
FORT WORTH, Texas, January 21, 2014 – Compass Bank, as Trustee of the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:SJT), today declared a monthly cash distribution to the holders of its Units of beneficial interest of $4,487,465.69 or $0.096279 per Unit, based principally upon production during the month of November 2013. The distribution is payable February 14, 2014, to Unit Holders of record as of January 31, 2014.
Gas production for the properties from which the royalty was carved (the “Underlying Properties”) totaled approximately 2,670,531 Mcf (2,915,796 MMBtu). Dividing revenues by production volume yielded an average gas price for November 2013 of $3.76 per Mcf ($3.45 per MMBtu) as compared to $3.58 per Mcf ($3.31 per MMBtu) for October 2013.
The average monthly gas price Burlington reports to the Trust is a calculated price. It is determined by dividing gross monthly revenue by production volume, therefore, it does not represent an average of actual sales prices. The average gas price may vary from the posted index price for the San Juan Basin. The index price is a gross sales price, and the revenues used in the calculation of average gas prices are net of transportation, processing and gathering costs. Furthermore, the distribution to the Trust in any given month may include significant volume adjustments for sales in prior months that reflect pricing for those prior months. Capital costs for the month were $552,361. Lease operating expenses were $2,827,257 and taxes were $1,135,190.
