• Marine Petroleum Trust declares $0.068097 per unit quarterly cash distribution.
• Distribution payable on Sept 29, 2025, to unitholders of record on Aug 29, 2025.
• Cash distribution lower than last quarter's $0.110983 per unit.
• Decrease in oil and natural gas production volumes.
DALLAS, Aug. 19, 2025 — Marine Petroleum Trust (NASDAQ: MARPS) has announced a quarterly cash distribution of $0.068097 per unit, payable on September 29, 2025, to unitholders of record on August 29, 2025. This distribution is lower than the $0.110983 per unit distributed in the previous quarter and the $0.094886 per unit distributed in the same quarter last year. The decrease in cash distribution reflects a decline in both oil and natural gas production volumes, as well as changes in realized prices.
Marine's distributions to unitholders are based on royalties received up to the date the distribution amount is declared. The company typically receives royalties two months after oil production and three months after natural gas production. The recent decrease in production volumes and lower oil prices have contributed to the lower cash distribution.
The latest EIA report [3] indicates that natural gas prices have fluctuated, with the Henry Hub spot price falling from $3.02 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) to $2.92/MMBtu. The price of the September 2025 NYMEX contract also decreased, from $3.077/MMBtu to $2.828/MMBtu. Despite these price changes, the overall demand for natural gas increased by 6.3% (4.6 Bcf/d) compared to the previous week, driven by a 19% (2.0 Bcf/d) rise in electric-power sector consumption due to increased air-conditioning demand.
