San Juan Basin Royalty Trust Declares No Cash Distribution for October 2026

$SJTPress releaseOct 20, 2026, 9:25 AM ETRead the release

San Juan Basin Royalty Trust will not declare an October 2026 cash distribution, citing excess production costs from Hilcorp's 2024 horizontal drilling and continued low natural gas prices. The cumulative excess production cost balance stands at roughly $12.4 million gross ($9.3 million net to the Trust); until it is repaid — along with a $2.0 million reserve replenishment and repayment of the Trust's $1.16 million line of credit — unitholders receive no royalty income.
