Net profits interest percentage 80% Percentage of net proceeds applicable to the Trust’s net profits interest
Oil sales volume 107,234 Bbl Oil production for the payment period ended June 30, 2026
Net profits interest financial
"Percentage applicable to Trust’s Net Profits Interest ... 80 %"
A net profits interest (NPI) is a contractual right to receive a fixed percentage of a project’s or asset’s profits after allowable costs are paid, rather than a share of gross revenue or ownership. For investors, it matters because it gives upside tied to actual profitability while shielding the holder from direct operating expenses and capital calls, similar to getting a portion of the leftover profits from a business after the bills are settled.
Lease operating expenses financial
"Costs: Lease operating expenses $ 3,291,240"
Costs required to keep a leased property or asset running, including routine maintenance, repairs, utilities, insurance, property taxes and management fees that the lessee or lessor must pay while the lease is active. Investors care because these recurring outlays reduce net income and cash flow from the lease—like owning a rental where you still pay for upkeep—so they affect profitability, yield and the true return on an investment tied to leased assets.
Production and property taxes financial
"Production and property taxes 525,488"
Production taxes are government levies on the extraction, manufacture or sale of goods—often applied to natural resources or industrial output—while property taxes are ongoing charges on land, buildings or other owned assets. Both act like recurring business ‘tolls’ and reduce a company’s cash flow and profit margin, so investors watch them to gauge operating costs, future earnings and the value of assets that underlie share prices.
Cash reserve financial
"Increase in cash reserve held by VOC Brazos Energy Partners, L.P. 0"
Cash reserve is the amount of readily available cash a company keeps on hand to pay bills, handle unexpected costs, or seize quick opportunities—like an emergency fund for a household. For investors, a healthy cash reserve signals that a business can weather downturns, fund short-term needs without borrowing, and maintain flexibility for investments or dividends; too much idle cash, however, may suggest missed growth opportunities.
Record date financial
"Unitholders of record on July 30, 2026 will receive a distribution"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
