Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (CRT) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (NYSE:CRT) is a Delaware statutory trust that holds royalty interests in a portfolio of onshore oil and natural gas properties. The trust was established in June 2005 through a contribution of assets by Chesapeake Energy Corporation. It earns revenue by collecting overriding royalty and net profit interests carved out of producing leases and then distributing those receipts to its unitholders on a quarterly basis.

The underlying assets of the trust consist primarily of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves located in several Texas counties, including Erath, Stephens, Comanche and Palo Pinto. Cross Timbers Royalty Trust owns a 15% net overriding royalty interest and a 4.375% net profit interest in the designated properties, which span multiple producing horizons. Production volumes are driven by ongoing development and exploitation activities conducted by the operator, while the trust itself does not engage in drilling or exploration operations.

As a passive income vehicle, Cross Timbers Royalty Trust does not employ operating staff or manage day-to-day field activities. Instead, it is administered by an independent trustee responsible for accounting, cash distributions and compliance matters. The trust is designed to terminate upon exhaustion of its reserves or on December 31, 2032, whichever occurs first, at which time any remaining proceeds will be distributed to unitholders. This structure offers investors direct exposure to oil and gas revenue streams without the capital expenditure or operational risks typically associated with exploration and production companies.
