As noted above, there has been significant activity in the Permian Basin Wolfcamp program during June and July. During the month of July 2014, 2 Rocker B wells were spud and 9 wells were in various stages of completion. As a result, significant capital was invested during those months which impacts the current month distribution and will impact the September distribution. Enduro anticipates that cash receipts from the sale of production from these new wells will be included in distributions during the fourth quarter when Enduro anticipates increased production.

Monthly Cash Distribution

A cash distribution of $0.037803 per unit will be paid on September 15, 2014 to the Trust's unitholders of record on August 29, 2014. The distribution primarily represents oil production during the month of May 2014 and natural gas production during April 2014.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average prices attributable to the current and prior month distributions.

    Underlying Sales Volumes     Average Price
Oil

(Bbls)

    Natural Gas

(Mcf)

Oil

(per Bbl)

    Natural Gas

(per Mcf)

Current Month 72,290 418,044 $ 93.01 $ 4.63
Prior Month 78,525 450,004 $ 93.95 $ 4.86

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $6.7 million for the month, a decrease of $0.7 million from the prior month due to the inclusion in the prior month of multiple months of revenue for the first three Rocker B wells. The prior month included approximately $1.1 million in revenue from those wells and represented oil production from February, March and April and natural gas production from February and March.

Natural gas receipts for the properties underlying the Trust decreased $0.3 million from the prior month, totaling $1.9 million, as a result of decreased wellhead prices resulting from wider basis differentials as well as decreased sales volumes due to one less production day in April and differences in the timing of cash receipts.

Capital expenditures included in the current month distribution totaled approximately $3.4 million, which relates to capital expenditures incurred in June. Approximately $2.4 million of the capital incurred related to the Wolfcamp activity in the Midland Basin. Through June, capital incurred for projects in the Wolfcamp Rocker B program has totaled $10.9 million.
