San Juan Basin Royalty Trust updates G&A savings, Hilcorp audit, $2M credit facility maturity
SAN JUAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST
- Trustee reports G&A expenses fell about $976,000 year-over-year, mainly because 2024 trustee transition costs from PNC Bank to Argent Trust Company did not recur.
- On the 2017-2020 joint interest audit with Hilcorp, Argent concluded further dispute/recovery cost outweighed likely recovery; the royalty auditor continues review.
- Liquidity: $2,000,000 Texas Bank credit facility matures May 21, 2027; principal balance was about $1,075,400 as of September 18, 2026, and Trustee is in talks on renewal.
- Hilcorp controls pace and scope of development under the Conveyance; Trustee lacks authority to veto and only monitors capital spending and natural gas prices.
- Trustee will restore national newswire distribution of monthly press releases starting with October 2026, adding to website, email list, and public filings.
