VOC Energy Trust

VOC Energy Trust is a U.S. statutory trust that holds an 80% net profits interest in oil and natural gas properties operated by VOC Brazos. The Trust does not operate wells itself; it receives cash generated from the underlying properties and distributes that cash to unitholders after trust-level expenses and reserves.
