San Juan Basin Royalty Trust skips October distribution on excess production costs
The Trust will not declare a monthly cash distribution for October 2026 because of excess production costs from prior periods and continued low natural gas pricing. Unitholders will receive no royalty income until the excess cost balance, the $2,000,000 reserve replenishment, and the Line of Credit are repaid.
Key points

- The excess cost balance fell by $130,448 gross ($97,836 net) from the prior month.
- Average gas price for August 2026 was $2.28 per Mcf, up $0.27 from July 2026; Line of Credit principal is $1,155,501 after an $80,101 draw.
