BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (historically NYSE: BPT) generates news primarily through its public announcements about royalty payments, trust termination, asset sales, and listing status. Recent press releases have focused on the trust’s disclosure that it has not received royalty payments for multiple consecutive quarters, resulting in no cash distributions to unitholders for those periods.
News items describe how quarterly royalty payments from Hilcorp North Slope, LLC are calculated under the Trust Agreement, using daily Royalty Production and a Per Barrel Royalty based on WTI prices, chargeable costs, a cost adjustment factor, and production taxes. For several quarters in 2023, 2024, and 2025, the trust has reported that the average daily closing WTI price was below the break-even level implied by these cost components, producing a negative Per Barrel Royalty and therefore a zero payment for the quarter.
Another major theme in the trust’s news flow is its termination and wind-up. The trust has announced that it terminated at 11:59 PM on December 31, 2024 after two successive years with no net revenues from the royalty interest, as specified in the Trust Agreement. Subsequent releases detail the trustee’s steps to obtain a third-party fair market value opinion, the option offered to Hilcorp North Slope, LLC to purchase the trust assets, Hilcorp’s decision not to exercise that option, and the commencement of a sale process for the trust assets with RedOaks Energy Advisors, LLC acting as advisor.
News also covers the trust’s listing status, including NYSE notifications that the average closing price of its units fell below $1.00, the inability to regain compliance within the cure period, the resulting suspension of trading and initiation of delisting proceedings, and the transition of quotation of the units to the OTC Pink market under a new symbol. Investors following BPT-related news can use this page to review these regulatory, operational, and structural updates as the trust proceeds through its wind-up and potential asset sale.
