Pretty good 2008 Q2 report for ERF. Beginning with their September distribution, they will increase their payout by $0.05/share (an increase of 12%) to $0.47/month (14% annual yield). Cash flow is up 53%, operating costs are contained and balance sheet is stronger with less debt YOY.

This type of result is probably typical of many of the Energy Trusts in this sector. The company had hedged (up to 30%) of their oil and ng production (out 18 months) at rates 30% below the current market prices. This still resulted in a 53% increase in their Q2 YOY cash flow. As long as oil trades above $100/barrel, they should be able to post similar results next year.
