Marine Petroleum Trust (MARPS) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Marine Petroleum Trust is a royalty trust that holds overriding royalty interests in petroleum and natural gas production assets on Alaska’s North Slope. Established in 1998, the trust’s primary asset is its net profits interest in the Nikaitchuq Unit, a large oil field operated under state and federal leases. Rather than engaging in exploration or production itself, Marine Petroleum Trust receives income in the form of royalties and net profits from production activities carried out by the unit operator.

The trust’s revenues are generated solely by hydrocarbons extracted from the Nikaitchuq field, with crude oil transported via the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Over the years, the operator has invested in infrastructure enhancements and secondary recovery techniques, which may have an indirect impact on the volumes attributable to the trust’s royalty interests. Because Marine Petroleum Trust does not incur exploration or operating expenses, its cash distributions reflect the net proceeds of production after any applicable costs under the unit agreement.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Marine Petroleum Trust is governed by a board of independent trustees who oversee the administration and distribution processes. The day-to-day administrative functions, including accounting and royalty calculations, are handled by a designated trustee and administrative agent under the trust’s governing documents. Distributions to unitholders are made on a periodic basis, reflecting the net income received from the producing assets.
