Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $6.7
million for the current month, a decrease of $0.2 million from the prior
month calculation. The decrease was due to a 6 percent decline in NYMEX
oil prices as well as wider differentials in the Permian Basin,
partially offset by increased volumes as a result of the first revenue
receipts on five Rocker B wells that began producing in July and August.
Natural gas receipts decreased $0.1 million from the prior month,
totaling $1.8 million, as a result of decreased NYMEX prices, partially
offset by increased volumes due to one more production day in July.
The current month distribution includes approximately $0.6 million from
the first oil revenue receipts for the Rocker B 46H, 71H, 72H, 73H, and
74H. These wells came online in July and early August, and the first
payment, primarily representing August oil production, was received in
September. Revenue receipts for the remaining five Rocker B wells that
began producing in July and August were received in October and will be
included in next month’s distribution. Next month’s distribution will
include receipts from all wells producing through September 2014, which
is a total of 13 Rocker B wells included in the distribution compared to
8 in this month’s distribution calculation.
Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution totaled
$3.3 million, which includes $4.4 million of capital expenditures
incurred during September 2014, offset by $1.1 million in downward
adjustments related to a prior period. Subsequent to the last announced
distribution, during a review of capital expenditures, Enduro determined
that in a prior distribution, capital expenditure accruals had been
recorded for which actual costs were also recognized. Enduro regularly
reviews its expense accruals and records adjustments as necessary.
In the current distribution calculation, approximately $3.5 million of
capital expenditures are related to the Wolfcamp activity in the Midland
Basin. Through September, capital incurred for projects in the Wolfcamp
Rocker B program has totaled $19.6 million.
