NEWS
RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Austin,
Texas
November 12, 2009
- Mesa Offshore Trust
(OTC BB symbol: MOSH.OB) announced that final bids were received on November 11,
2009, and the sale of West Delta 61 in a public auction will be made to Emerald
Energy, the highest bidder, for a purchase price of $700,000.
The
Brazos A-39 Lot, including interests owned by the Mesa Offshore Royalty Trust
Partnership and assets contributed to the Trust by Pioneer for sale pursuant to
a tender letter, did not receive any bids in this public auction. Since this liquidation process did not result
in the sale of Pioneer's interests in Brazos Block A-39, Pioneer is entitled to
dispose of such assets in any manner it sees fit, including by way of example
and without limitation, withdrawing from participation in and ownership in
Brazos Block A-39 pursuant to the terms of the Offshore Operating Agreement
governing this property. The Trustee is
waiting for Pioneer to determine how it will dispose of the Partnership's and
Pioneer's interests in this property and the timing for such dispositions,
including potentially electing to plug and abandon the property.
The Trustee expects to
establish a future record date after this West Delta 61 sale and the final sale
or abandonment of the interests in the Brazos Block A-39, and the concurrent
termination of the Trust in accordance with the Trust indenture. This record date will serve as the date for
holders of record entitled to final distributions as part of the winding up of
the Trust. After such date, the Trustee
will not recognize any subsequent transfers of Trust units. The Trustee will also request the termination
of trading of Trust units on the OTC Bulletin Board and transfers of beneficial
interests by The Depository Trust Company (DTC) for its participants on or
prior to such final record date.
