AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 19, 2014-- Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced results from recently completed wells in the Wolfcamp play in the Midland Basin and reported the net profits interest calculation for September 2014.

Wolfcamp Production Results and Activity Update

During July and August, several Wolfcamp wells were completed and are currently producing. Of the 20 gross well proposals received from Pioneer Natural Resources to date, 13 wells are currently producing, 4 are in various stages of completion, and 3 are drilling.

The following table displays the 24-hour peak gross flowback rate for all Wolfcamp wells that are producing, including the 3 that began producing in August, as well as the 30-day IP rate for those wells where such information is available:

The following table displays the current status of the Wolfcamp wells in progress and Enduro’s working interest percentage:

Monthly Net Profits Interest Calculation

Due to significant activity in the Wolfcamp drilling program during the month of July 2014, direct operating and development expenses for the current month net profits interest calculation exceeded cash receipts. The following displays the net profits interest calculation for the current month and the resulting shortfall in net profits:

As a result, no monthly cash distribution will be paid in October 2014 to the Trust’s unitholders. The shortfall in net profits will be deducted from the net profits in next month’s net profits interest calculation, at which time expenses are anticipated to revert to normal levels and result in net profits consistent with prior months.

The current month net profits interest calculation primarily represents oil production during the month of June 2014, natural gas production during May 2014, and costs incurred in July. As the majority of the Rocker B wells have started producing since July, the only Rocker B wells in the Wolfcamp play for which revenues are included in the above calculation are the Rocker B 40H, 41H, and 42H. Enduro anticipates that cash receipts from the sale of production from the remaining 10 wells that are currently producing will be included in distributions during the fourth quarter.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average prices attributable to the current and prior month net profits interest calculations.

Oil cash receipts increased $0.2 million from the prior month and totaled $6.9 million as a result of increased NYMEX prices, partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes due to one less production day in June.

Natural gas receipts increased $0.1 million from the prior month, totaling $2.0 million, as a result of increased wellhead prices due to improved differentials from NYMEX and increased sales volumes due to one more production day in May.

Of the total $6.3 million in capital expenditures during July 2014, approximately $4.5 million related to the Wolfcamp activity in the Midland Basin. Through July, capital incurred for projects in the Wolfcamp Rocker B program has totaled $15.4 million.
