Marine Petroleum Trust

stock logo

Company Overview

overview logo History and Background

Marine Petroleum Trust (MARPS) was formed in 2010. It is a statutory trust with no employees. Its purpose is to receive net profits from specific oil and gas properties and distribute them to its unit holders.

business area logo Core Business Areas

  • Net Profits Interest: Marine Petroleum Trust holds a Net Profits Interest in designated oil and gas properties, entitling it to a share of the net profits from their production.

leadership logo Leadership and Structure

Marine Petroleum Trust is a passive entity. Its administration is handled by Argent Trust Company, the trustee. It has no formal leadership team beyond the trustee.

Top Products and Market Share

overview logo Key Offerings

  • Net Profits Distributions: Marine Petroleum Trust's 'product' is the distribution of net profits from underlying oil and gas properties to its unit holders. Market share is not applicable as the Trust does not directly compete in a product market. Revenue is completely dependent on the profits from the underlying properties which fluctuate. Competitors are other Royalty Trusts.

Market Dynamics

industry overview logo Industry Overview

The trust exists within the oil and gas royalty trust sector, which is tied to the overall performance of the oil and gas industry. Revenue depends on the price of oil and gas and the production rate of the underlying properties.

Positioning

Marine Petroleum Trust is a passive royalty trust, relying solely on the production and profitability of its underlying properties. Its competitive advantage (if any) lies in the quality and productivity of those properties.

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The TAM relates to the overall oil and gas production from the properties in which the trust holds an interest. Marine Petroleum Trust's share of this market is directly tied to the net profit interest percentage it owns in the underlying assets.

Upturn SWOT Analysis

Strengths

  • Passive income stream for unit holders
  • Relatively simple structure
  • Minimal operating expenses (primarily administrative)

Weaknesses

  • Dependence on volatile oil and gas prices
  • Depleting asset base
  • No control over underlying production
  • Lack of diversification
  • Limited lifespan tied to property production

Opportunities

  • Potential increase in oil and gas prices
  • Discovery of new reserves on existing properties
  • Acquisition of new net profits interests (unlikely in current structure)

Threats

  • Decline in oil and gas prices
  • Decreasing production from underlying properties
  • Increased operating costs on the underlying properties
  • Unforeseen environmental or regulatory issues

Competitors and Market Share

competitor logo Key Competitors

  • CRT
  • PVL
  • BBEP

Competitive Landscape

Marine Petroleum Trust's competitive position is solely based on the profitability of its underlying assets compared to other royalty trusts. Because it does not directly compete in any market share, and there is no real company behind it, it does not have any advantages or disadvantages.

Growth Trajectory and Initiatives

Historical Growth: There is no organic growth for Marine Petroleum Trust as it is a depletionary asset. Historical performance mirrors oil and gas price trends.

Future Projections: Future projections indicate a decline in distributions as underlying properties deplete, absent any significant and unlikely acquisitions.

Recent Initiatives: The trust has not undertaken any recent initiatives as it is a passive entity.

Summary

Marine Petroleum Trust is a passive royalty trust with no active management, making its performance solely dependent on the oil and gas prices. The company is weak, as the underlying assets deplete over time. Its strengths are the passive income stream it provides to unitholders, but investors should be aware that as properties are depleted, revenue will continually decrease and so will shareholder return. Therefore, the company's long-term sustainability is questionable.
