This distribution reflects primarily the oil production for September 2021 and the gas production for August 2021. Preliminary production volumes are approximately 46,382 barrels of oil and 725,857 Mcf of gas. Preliminary prices are approximately $68.76 per barrel of oil and $3.81 per Mcf of gas.  The related production months for July 2021 through the November 2021 press releases have been off by one month. The table below reflects the correction of those months previously reported in the associated press releases:

The table below compares this month's production and prices to the previous month's:

Current Month		46,382			725,857			$68.76		$3.81
Prior Month		51,158			962,512			$66.56		$3.29

 

Revenues are only distributed after they are received, verified and posted. Most energy companies normally issue payment of royalties on or about the 25^th of every month, and depending on mail delivery, a varying amount of royalties are not received until after the revenue posting on the last business day of the month. The revenues received after that date will be posted within 30 days of receipt.

During the month of November, the respective shelter-at-home/work-from-home orders across the spectrum of the industry has significantly affected the posting of revenues for the Trust, until the following month of December. As adjustments are made accordingly, the functions of the Trust are still being performed, although on a delayed basis. We will continue to strive to make the operations of the Trust and its providers, as fluid as possible.

Due to the timing of the end of the month of November, approximately $3,125,000 of revenue received will be posted in the following month of December in addition to normal receipts during December. Since the close of business in November and prior to this press release, $882,000 in revenue has been received.

Approximately $670,000 for 2021 Ad Valorem taxes was deducted from this month's distribution as compared to $722,000 this time last year. These payments are normal expenditures at this time of year.

The 2020 Annual Report with Form 10-K and the January 1, 2021 Reserve Summary are now available on the Sabine website at http://www.sbr-sabine.com/.
