Excess Costs

XTO Energy has advised the Trustee that $135,000 of excess costs was recovered on properties underlying the Texas Working Interest net profits interests. However, after the partial recovery, there were no remaining proceeds from the properties underlying the Texas Working Interest net profits interests to be included in this month’s distribution. Underlying cumulative excess costs remaining on the Texas Working Interest net profits interests after the current month’s distribution total $1.5 million, including accrued interest of $261,000.

XTO Energy has advised the Trustee that decreased operating expenses in the current month distribution led to the full recovery of excess costs of $0.1 million, including accrued interest of $1,000, on properties underlying the Oklahoma Working Interest net profits interests.
