AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 2014-- Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.082366 per unit, payable on June 13, 2014 to unitholders of record on May 30, 2014. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of February 2014 and natural gas production during January 2014.

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

Oil production for the current distribution period totaled approximately 2,400 Bbls/D, consistent with the prior month. Oil cash receipts decreased $0.2 million from the prior month and totaled $6.4 million as a result of fewer production days in February, partially offset by a 6% increase in NYMEX prices. Natural gas receipts remained consistent with the prior month and totaled $2.2 million as a result of increased NYMEX prices, offset by reduced sales volumes. Approximately 59,000 Mcf of the decrease in natural gas volumes is due to the timing of cash receipts for previous production months.

The current month distribution does not include production from the Permian Basin Wolfcamp drilling program. As the current month distribution represents February 2014 oil sales, revenues from the Wolfcamp program are not yet included in the distribution. The first 3 wells (Rocker B 40H, 41H, and 42H) came online at the end of February and, as a result, March was the first full month of production.

Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution were approximately $1.8 million, which relates to capital expenditures incurred in March. Capital expenditures of approximately $1.0 million related to the Wolfcamp activity in the Midland Basin.

Wolfcamp Activity Update

Enduro continues to receive drilling proposals from Pioneer Natural Resources for the 2014 Wolfcamp drilling program. Of the 25 gross wells anticipated to be drilled in 2014, Enduro has received drilling proposals for 15 gross wells, of which 3 are currently producing, 7 are waiting on completion, 3 are drilling, and 2 are waiting to be spud. The majority of the wells that are currently drilling or waiting on completion are anticipated to be completed in June and July.

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