Enduro Royalty Trust Announces Monthly Cash Distribution
And 2015 Capital Program
AUSTIN, Texas(BUSINESS WIRE) December 19, 2014
Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the Trust) today announced its monthly cash distribution to be paid in January 2015, reported results from recently completed wells in the Permian Basin Wolfcamp play and announced its 2015 capital program.
Monthly Cash Distribution
A cash distribution of $0.065822 per unit will be paid on January 15, 2015 to the Trusts unitholders of record on December 31, 2014. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of September 2014 and natural gas production during August 2014.
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 for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $7.0 million for the current month, an increase of $0.3 million from the prior month calculation. The increase was due to the receipt of the first revenue receipts on five Rocker B wells, partially offset by a three percent decline in NYMEX oil prices. Natural gas receipts were consistent with the prior month, totaling $1.8 million.
The current month distribution includes receipts from 13 Rocker B wells producing through September 2014. In total, the 13 Rocker B wells contributed $1.1 million of oil cash receipts for the current distribution period, including approximately $0.6 million from the first revenue receipts for the Rocker B 43H, 44H, 45H, 47H, and 48H. These wells came online in July and early August, and the first payment was received in October for oil production from July, August, and September and gas production from July and August. Total average daily oil sales volumes for the current distribution period for the properties underlying the Trust were approximately 2,750 Bbls/D, of which 400 Bbls/D are attributable to the Rocker B wells, including 135 Bbls/D of prior month volumes for the five wells noted previously.
Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution totaled $2.3 million and relate to expenses incurred during October 2014. Of this amount, approximately $1.5 million of capital expenditures are related to the Wolfcamp activity in the Midland Basin. Through October, capital incurred for projects in the Wolfcamp Rocker B program totaled $21.1 million, or $16.9 million net to the Trusts 80% net profits interest.

Lost Tank Field
In late 2012, Enduro elected to participate in two Permian oil wells drilled by Occidental Petroleum in the Lost Tank field in southeastern New Mexico, in which Enduro owns a 50% working interest. The wells were spud in December 2012; however, due to delays including takeaway capacity for associated gas volumes and completion delays on one well, the wells are not currently producing. The first well which was completed, the Lost Tank 4 Federal 22, experienced delays due to a stuck packer in the well, and at this time, Occidental Petroleum plans to clean out the well with coil tubing and produce through the packer with an estimated first sales date at the beginning of February 2015. The second well, the Lost Tank 4 Federal 23, will be completed this month and is expected to be flowing to sales in February 2015 as well. Through October 2014, capital incurred for these two wells has totaled $9.2 million, or $7.4 million net to the Trusts 80% net profits interest. Additional completion capital of $0.8 million is anticipated in early 2015.
2015 Capital Program
In 2015, total capital expenditures included in announced distributions are expected to range from $12 to $16 million attributable to the properties in which the Trust owns a net profits interest, or $10 to $13 million net to the Trusts 80% net profits interest. The 2015 capital program will continue to focus primarily on Permian Basin projects, including legacy waterfloods, infill drilling, and Wolfcamp Permian Basin oil development projects in the Midland Basin.
As noted above, to date Enduro has participated in 20 gross wells in the Rocker B Permian development program with Pioneer Natural Resources. Of the wells drilled, the primary reservoir targeted has been the Wolfcamp B and results have been best for those wells drilled in the B2 reservoir. In the current commodity environment, Enduro is evaluating the total capital to be committed to this program and Enduros participation in proposed Wolfcamp wells. Enduro anticipates capital for the Trust in 2015 to be considerably less than 2014 at current commodity prices.
About Enduro Royalty Trust
