Company DescriptionSan Juan Basin Royalty Trust (SJT) is a publicly traded trust that holds royalty interests in oil and gas properties located in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico. The trust's primary asset is its ownership of a net overriding royalty interest, which entitles it to a percentage of the revenue derived from oil and gas production on these properties. The trust is managed by a trustee, and its income is distributed to unit holders in the form of monthly distributions.
How the Company Makes MoneySan Juan Basin Royalty Trust generates revenue primarily through its net overriding royalty interest in oil and gas production from the San Juan Basin properties. The trust receives a percentage of the gross proceeds from the sale of oil and gas, which is then subject to certain costs and expenses, such as production taxes and post-production costs. The net income received is distributed to unit holders on a monthly basis. The trust's earnings are heavily influenced by factors such as fluctuations in oil and gas prices, production levels, and operational costs. Additionally, partnerships with oil and gas operators in the San Juan Basin play a significant role in the trust's ability to generate revenue, as these operators are responsible for the production activities on the properties.
