Excess Costs

XTO Energy has advised the trustee that increased oil production in the current month distribution led to the partial recovery of excess costs on properties underlying the Oklahoma Working Interest net profits interests. However after the partial recovery, there were no remaining proceeds from the properties underlying the Oklahoma Working Interest net profits interests to be included in this month’s distribution.

XTO Energy has advised the trustee that increased costs in the current month distribution caused costs to exceed revenues on properties underlying the Texas Working Interest net profits interests. However, these excess costs did not reduce net proceeds from the remaining conveyances.
