The following tables summarize the net ownership interest in the proved oil, natural gas and NGL reserves and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to the proved oil, natural gas and NGL reserves. The estimates were prepared by the Partnership based on reserve reports prepared by Ryder Scott for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The proved oil, natural gas and NGL reserve estimates and other components of the standardized measure were determined in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB and the SEC.

Proved Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Reserve Quantities

Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. Proved developed reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods, or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well.

A Boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6mcf/Bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a price equivalency at the wellhead. All Boe conversions in the report are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.

The Partnership’s net proved oil, natural gas and NGL reserves and changes in net proved oil, natural gas and NGL reserves attributable to the oil, natural gas and NGL properties, which are located in multiple states are summarized below:

(1)Revisions of previous estimates include technical revisions due to changes in commodity prices, historical and projected performance and other factors.
(2)Includes the acquisition of mineral and royalty interests, primarily consisting of mineral and royalty interests in the Permian Basin and Mid-Continent.
(3)Includes the acquisition of mineral and royalty interests, primarily consisting of mineral and royalty interests in the Permian Basin.
(4)Includes total proved reserves of 9,798 MBoe, 10,273 MBoe and 14,399 MBoe as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, attributable to a non-controlling interest in the Partnership.

Revisions represent changes in previous reserves estimates, either upward or downward, resulting from new information normally obtained from development drilling and production history or resulting from a change in economic factors, such as commodity prices, operating costs or development costs.

Reserve estimates and future cash flows are based on the average market prices for sales of oil, natural gas and NGL adjusted for basis differentials, on the first calendar day of each month during the year. The average prices used for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $65.34, $75.48 and $78.22 per barrel for crude oil and $3.39, $2.13 and $2.64 per Mcf for natural gas, respectively.

Future production costs are computed primarily by the Partnership’s petroleum engineers by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. A discount factor of 10% was used to reflect the timing of future net cash flows. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is not intended to represent the replacement cost or fair value of the properties. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs, and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in oil, natural gas and NGL reserve estimates.
