San Juan Basin Royalty Trust

San Juan Basin Royalty Trust is a U.S. royalty trust that holds a net overriding royalty interest in oil and natural gas properties in the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico. The trust does not operate wells itself; it receives royalty income from production on the subject interests and distributes available cash to unit holders after expenses.

Liiketoiminta

Osuus liikevaihdosta
Royalty income from natural gas75 %

Cash flows derived from the trust's royalty interest in natural gas production from the subject properties.

Royalty income from oil20 %

Cash flows derived from the trust's royalty interest in oil production from the subject properties.

Interest income and cash reserves5 %

Interest earned on trust cash balances and temporary reserves held by the trustee.

Asiakkaat

The trust's economic beneficiaries are its unit holders, who receive distributions from royalty income rather than purchasing a conventional product or service. The underlying cash generation depends on Hilcorp's production and marketing of oil and natural gas from the subject interests, so the trust is economically tied to energy end markets and commodity pricing. The trustee also interacts with Hilcorp for reporting, expense allocation, and royalty administration.

Unit holders

Investors who own trust units and receive cash distributions from royalty income.

Hilcorp Energy Company

Operator of the subject interests that produces, markets, and reports the oil and gas volumes used to calculate royalty income.

Energy commodity market participants

Natural gas and oil market conditions determine the value of production underlying the trust's distributions.

Strategia

The trust's structure is designed to collect royalty income, pay trust expenses, and distribute available cash to unit holders. Its strategic position is therefore not about growth investment or expansion, but about preserving the royalty stream, monitoring operator performance, and maintaining accurate reporting and expense administration.

Preserve and administer the royalty interestPitkä aikaväli

The trust's value comes from the underlying net overriding royalty interest and the cash it generates.

Depend on operator execution and reportingLyhyt aikaväli

Production volumes, costs, and sales data from Hilcorp determine distributable income.

Manage exposure to basin pricing and production costsKeskipitkä aikaväli

Natural gas pricing, oil pricing, and production costs directly affect royalty income.

Maantiede

The trust's assets are located in the San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico, so its cash flows are tied to a single producing region in the United States. Production, gathering, and marketing are concentrated in that basin, making local infrastructure, line pressure, and regional pricing important to results. The trust has no operating footprint outside this U.S. asset base.

Riskit

The trust is highly exposed to commodity prices, basin-specific production trends, and the operator's cost structure because royalty income is calculated from net proceeds. It also faces concentration risk in a single asset base and reliance risk on Hilcorp's reporting, operations, and marketing decisions, which can materially affect distributions.
