/PRNewswire/ — The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a quarterly distribution of

$0.38

per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, payable on

May 25, 2022

to owners of record on

May 13

, 2022.  Natural gas sold during the first calendar quarter of 2022 is the primary source of royalty income on which the

May 2022

distribution is based.


John R. Van Kirk

, Managing Director, reported that this year’s quarterly distribution of

$0.38

per unit is 171.43%, or

$0.24

per unit, higher than the distribution of

$0.14

per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2021.  For the quarter ending

April 30, 2022

, the impact on royalty income of higher gas prices easily offset both the lower gas sales and lower average exchange rate.  There were no adjustments during either the second quarter of fiscal 2022 or 2021.  Royalty income under the Mobil Sulfur Agreement was

$70,618

and

$36,411

for the second quarters of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively.  Additional details will be included in the earnings press release scheduled for publication on or about

May 13, 2022

.

The Trust receives all of its royalties under two royalty agreements.  The Mobil Agreement, which is the higher royalty rate agreement, covers gas sales from the western half of the Oldenburg concession.  The OEG Agreement, which is the lower royalty rate agreement, covers gas sales from the entire Oldenburg concession.  The factors determining the amount of gas royalties payable under the two agreements from the preceding calendar quarter are shown in the table below comparing the first calendar quarters of 2022 and 2021.
