FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PermRock Royalty Trust PRT (the "Trust") today declared a monthly cash distribution to record holders of its trust units representing beneficial interests in the Trust ("Trust Units") as of October 31, 2018 and payable on November 15, 2018 in the aggregate amount of $1,409,766.02 or $0.115880 per Trust Unit, based principally upon production during the month of August 2018.

The following table displays underlying oil and natural gas sales volumes and average received wellhead prices attributable to the current and prior month net profits interest calculations:

Oil cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $2.76 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.27 million from the prior month distribution period as a result of a decrease in sales volumes and oil prices compared to the prior month. Boaz Energy (as defined below) advised the Trustee that the decrease in sales price was primarily attributable to a lower NYMEX average oil price in August and a worsening in the regional differentials to NYMEX, primarily the Midland Cushing differential and the West Texas Sour differential.  For additional information on the regional differentials, see the Operational Update posted this month to the Trust's website at http://www.permrock.com/files/doc_downloads/PermRock-Royalty-Trust-10-09-2018-Operational-Update_vF.pdf.    

Natural gas cash receipts for the properties underlying the Trust totaled $0.22 million for the current month, a decrease of $0.06 million from the prior month distribution period as a result of a decrease in sales volumes. Boaz Energy advised the Trustee that the decrease in sales volumes was primarily attributable to a gas plant being down in Crane County, which decrease in volumes more than offset an increase in the average price.

Total direct operating expenses, including lease operating expenses and workover expenses, were $0.57 million, an increase of $0.05 million from the prior month. Severance and ad valorem taxes were $0.29 million, a decrease of $0.01 million from the prior month. 

Capital expenditures were $0.21 million in the current month, a decrease of $0.09 million from the prior month.  Boaz Energy advised the Trustee that capital expenditures were primarily attributable to non-operated drilling and completions.
