RE: Hugoton Royalty Trust, HGT
This is open to anyone to answer..
If the average gas price was $4.07 per Mcf. and they are able to sell it now at $7 or higher in 2001...does the surplus go straight to bottom line earnings or am I missing other costs?
Also how do they calculate the cash distributions? Can a person estimate what forward earnings will be in 2001 based on avg. gas price?
Re: Development costs,Production expense,overhead.. Do these stay relatively flat or do they increase as the trusts gas production increases? What I am really asking here is does this investment pay x% cash each month or quarter as well as offer capital gains by way of increasing production from properties at a high gas prices which may lift the share price? Any comments appreciated. -def
