Business Highlights
- Royalty income remained volatile: Q2 royalties fell 3.6% year-over-year, though the first six months were up 54% driven by prior-year negative adjustments and higher sulfur receipts.
- Natural gas comprised roughly 89% of Q2 royalties; a large share of production is sour gas (about 75%) that requires desulfurization before sale.
- Operator EMPG plans no new wells in 2026, focusing on maintenance, well workovers and small stimulations to slow production decline.
- Planned maintenance includes an approximately 50-day Grossenkneten plant shutdown in Aug–Sep 2026, expected to reduce near-term gas output.
- Market drivers include GBIP gas price volatility (a drop in Q2 with a spike in March 2026) and euro–dollar FX movements, which materially affect USD distributions.
