ANNOUNCES 2010 CAPITAL PLAN</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FORT WORTH, Texas, January&nbsp;26, 2010 &#151; Compass Bank (the &#147;Trustee&#148;) as Trustee of the San
Juan Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:SJT) (the &#147;Trust&#148;), today announced the capital project plan for
2010 as delivered to it by Burlington Resources Oil &#038; Gas Company LP (&#147;Burlington&#148;). Capital
expenditures for 2010 for properties subject to the Trust&#146;s royalty interest are estimated to be
$17.9&nbsp;million. Of the $17.9&nbsp;million, approximately $6.8&nbsp;million will be attributable to the
capital budgets for 2009 and prior years.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The principal asset of the Trust is a 75% net overriding royalty interest carved out of
certain oil and gas leasehold and royalty interests in properties now owned by Burlington (the
&#147;Underlying Properties&#148;) located in the San Juan Basin and more particularly in San Juan, Rio
Arriba and Sandoval counties of northwestern New Mexico. Burlington is the operator of the
majority of the Underlying Properties.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Burlington&#146;s announced 2010 plan for the Underlying Properties includes 305 projects.
Approximately $7.2&nbsp;million of the $17.9&nbsp;million budget is allocable to 43 new wells, including 41
wells scheduled to be dually completed in the Mesaverde and Dakota formations. Burlington indicates
that two of the new wells are projected to be drilled to Fruitland Coal or Pictured Cliffs
formations. Approximately $3.8&nbsp;million will be spent on workovers and facilities projects. Of the
$6.8&nbsp;million attributable to the budgets for prior years, approximately $4.4&nbsp;million is allocable
to new wells and the $2.4&nbsp;million balance will be applied to miscellaneous capital projects such as
workovers and operated facility projects. Burlington mentioned that the possible implementation of
new air quality rules and rules requiring the minimization of surface disturbances, implementation
of closed-loop systems for the disposal of drilling fluids and cuttings, and the restricted use of
open reserve pits could reduce the number of projects due to increased compliance costs.
Burlington reports that based on its actual capital requirements, the pace of regulatory approvals,
the mix of projects and swings in the price of natural gas, the actual capital expenditures for
2010 could range from $10&nbsp;million to $45&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capital expenditures of $33.6&nbsp;million were included in calculating royalty income paid to the
Trust in calendar year 2009. Approximately $25.5&nbsp;million covered 256 projects budgeted for 2009,
including the drilling of 50 new wells operated by Burlington and no new wells operated by third
parties. Approximately $16.7&nbsp;million of those costs were incurred in new drilling activity. The
balance of the expenditures was attributable to the workover of existing wells and the maintenance
and improvement of production facilities.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The capital expenditures reported by Burlington in calculating royalty income for 2009
included approximately $8.1&nbsp;million attributable to the capital budgets for prior years. This
occurs because capital expenditures are deducted in calculating royalty income in the month they
are accrued, and projects within a given year&#146;s budget often extend into subsequent years.
Further, Burlington&#146;s accounting period for capital expenditures runs through November&nbsp;30 of each
calendar year, such that capital expenditures incurred in December of each year are actually
accounted for as part of the following year&#146;s capital expenditures. Also, for wells not operated
by Burlington, Burlington&#146;s share of capital expenditures may not actually be paid by it until the
year or years after those expenses were incurred by the operator.
