−Removed: Some of this increase reflected prior period capital expenditures associated with 15 new Permian wells that
−Removed: came online in the current period, for which production and revenues were attributable to prior periods.
−Removed: While commodity prices remain
−Removed: volatile, the majority of the capital expenditures for the Underlying Properties are associated with large cap, investment grade oil and

−Removed: Accordingly, although active rig counts within the Permian and Haynesville

+Added: activity on the Underlying Properties remained elevated through the first three months of 2025, increasing over 130% from the same period
+Added: Most of the increase reflected continued capital expenditures by a super major oil conglomerate associated with Haynesville wells

+Added: Otherwise, the remaining capital expenditure outlook for the operators of the Underlying

+Added: Nevertheless, although commodity prices remain volatile, the

+Added: Directionally, the Sponsor expects oil-directed capital expenditures in the Permian

+Added: The Sponsor believes that the outlook for the oil
+Added: and gas industry has become increasingly complicated since the start of 2025, especially with the development of trade disputes and indications
+Added: that OPEC may increase oil production.
+Added: Oil prices have ranged from just over $80 per Bbl to as low as $57 per Bbl between December 2024

+Added: Natural gas prices have experienced similar volatility, ranging from a low of $2.93 per MMBtu to a high of $4.49 per MMBtu over
+Added: the same period, as previous forecasts of increasing demand for U.S.
+Added: liquified natural gas exports have been called into question given
+Added: the uncertain global trade environment.
+Added: Meanwhile, mergers and acquisitions continue to change the makeup of companies in the sector,
+Added: including one of the operators on the Underlying Properties.
+Added: The Sponsor believes that consolidation within the oil and gas sector could
+Added: lead to lower operating costs given economies of scale, but could also lead to more binary swings in capital spending, as more assets
+Added: and capital budgets are set by fewer operators than in years past.
+Added: Despite this volatility, given the significant
+Added: increase in capital expenditures during the first three months of 2025, the Sponsor is revising its 2025 capital spending outlook from
+Added: the prior range of $7.0 million to $13.0 million, or $5.6 million to $10.4 million net to the Trust’s Net Profits Interest, as detailed
+Added: in the Trust’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, to $10.0 million to $15.0 million, or $8.0 million to $12.0 million net to

−Removed: This continued decline in production from legacy properties
