Upturn AI SWOT
Mesa Royalty Trust
Company Overview
History and Background
Mesa Royalty Trust (MTR) was formed in 1979 by Mesa Petroleum Co. It is a grantor trust that receives royalty income from oil and gas properties in the Hugoton Field of Kansas and Oklahoma.
Core Business Areas
- Royalty Income: MTR's core business is receiving and distributing royalty income generated from oil and gas production. It does not directly operate the wells.
Leadership and Structure
MTR is a grantor trust; therefore, it does not have a traditional leadership team or organizational structure. Bank of Oklahoma acts as the trustee.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Royalty Income Distribution: MTR distributes royalty income to its unitholders, derived from overriding royalty interests in producing oil and gas properties. The market share is difficult to quantify as it depends on oil and gas production and pricing relative to other royalty trusts. Competitors are other royalty trusts in the oil and gas sector.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The royalty trust industry is sensitive to commodity prices (oil and gas), production rates, and operating expenses of underlying properties. It is also impacted by depletion of reserves.
Positioning
MTR's position is based on its legacy assets in the Hugoton Field. Its competitive advantage is its established royalty interests. However, its disadvantage is the declining production from these mature assets.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The TAM is related to the value of royalty interests in oil and gas producing properties and fluctuates with commodity prices. MTR holds a niche position dependent on legacy assets.

Competitors and Market Share
Key Competitors
- CRT
- BCEI
- PVL
Competitive Landscape
MTR's competitive landscape is focused on providing royalties. Smaller market share, and diminishing returns compared to competitors CRT, BCEI and PVL
Growth Trajectory and Initiatives
Historical Growth: MTR has generally experienced declining royalty income due to depletion of reserves.
Future Projections: Future projections depend on commodity prices and production rates from existing properties. Analyst estimates would be speculative given the mature nature of the assets.
Recent Initiatives: MTR has limited initiatives as it is a passive royalty trust.
Summary
Mesa Royalty Trust is a passive royalty trust dependent on mature oil and gas assets. Declining production poses a challenge, while commodity prices dictate its financial performance. Dividends have been inconsistent, and there is little room for growth. Investors should carefully consider commodity price risks and depletion rates.
