Mesa Royalty Trust will pay no October 2026 distribution; costs exceeded revenue
Mesa Royalty Trust said no distribution will be paid for October 2026 because costs, charges and expenses attributable to its royalty properties exceeded revenue from oil and gas sales, as reported by the working interest owners. The trust also said distributions are expected to be materially reduced until its cash reserves reach $2.0 million, and that accumulated excess production costs will reduce future distributions and may result in none in some periods.
