The Trust receives nearly all of its royalties under two royalty agreements.
The Mobil Agreement is the higher royalty rate agreement and covers gas sales
from the western half of the Oldenburg concession.  The OEG Agreement is the
lower royalty rate agreement and covers gas sales from the entire Oldenburg
concession.  Under the Mobil Agreement, higher average gas prices and higher
average exchange rates offset the decline in gas sales in the second quarter
of fiscal 2014.  Under the OEG Agreement, lower gas sales and lower average
gas prices offset higher average exchange rates leading to reduced gas
royalties in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.  Relevant details are shown
below.
