Price cut lowers oil royalties to Texas schools
Phillips Petroleum reduces crude oil price by 35 cents per barrel to 2.65, reversing a two month rise that boosted royalties. State permanent school fund and University of Texas fund may lose about 60 000 dollars yearly, with monthly impacts of roughly 2000 to 2700 dollars, as royalties drop across many West Texas fields. A spokesperson noted the notice while Land Commissioner Bascom Giles attends his son's wedding in Little Rock.
