History
MV Oil Trust was cleared to trade on the NYSE in 2006-07, held an 80% net profits interest, and wound up in 2026 after reaching its production target.
2006-2007: Listing
MV Oil Trust was a Delaware statutory trust whose main asset was an 80% net profits interest in oil and gas properties operated by MV Partners, LLC. A net profits interest gives its holder a share of the income left after costs. The New York Stock Exchange certified the Trust's securities for listing on 7 December 2006 and again on 16 January 2007, clearing them to trade as units of beneficial interest. The record does not say how the Trust was funded or how many units were issued at the time, and no share counts were recorded.
2007-2026: A quiet record and the end of the interest
The major disclosures say nothing about the years between listing and 2026. The wider context mentions that MV Energy and MV Partners sold down their holdings in 2007, that RR Advisors and Robert Raymond held 8.84% in 2019, and that the Trust paid $0.300 per unit in the second quarter of 2021. Beyond that, the record is quiet.
On 2 July 2026 the Trust announced that its net profits interest had ended on 30 June 2026. The required minimum production of 14.4 million barrels of oil equivalent, which is 11.5 million for the Trust's interest, had been produced and sold. The Trust therefore dissolved and began winding up. It declared a final distribution of $6,829,206, or $0.593844 per unit, payable on 24 July 2026 to holders of record on 15 July 2026. The payment included the release of a $1,000,000 capital spending reserve held for MV Partners and an $893,695 reserve for the Trustee's expenses. The Trust said the units' market price was expected to fall to zero by then.
2026: Delisting and deregistration
On 14 July 2026 the Trust's securities were notified for removal from listing and registration on the exchange. On 28 July 2026 the Trust deregistered its securities, which ended its obligation to file reports with the SEC. The Trust had planned to cancel the units after that. As of the latest disclosure, on 28 July 2026, the Trust was dissolved and winding up.
