Trading and operations update
Genel Energy plc ('Genel' or 'the Company') issues the following trading
and operations update in respect of the third quarter and first nine
months of 2025.
Paul Weir, Chief Executive of Genel, said:
“Since our half year results in August, we have been delighted with the
progress made on resuming maximum production from the Tawke and Peshkabir
fields, with the two fields currently back to producing around 80,000
bopd. We now look forward to working with the operator to deliver an
increased activity programme that can build on these production levels.
Our core business continues to generate free cash flow despite discounted
domestic sales prices of just over $30/bbl. We are encouraged by the
progress made on the operational resumption of Kurdistan exports, with
reports of all Kurdistan oil production now flowing through the export
pipeline and being sold at Ceyhan. We hope that the implementation of the
export payment process is effective and sees international oil companies
paid their full entitlement revenue at international prices, which could
enable the Company to participate and significantly increase its core
business cash generation. We continue to monitor progress closely and
remain in regular contact with relevant stakeholders.
In Oman, on Block 54, we have started work towards testing the discovered
resource. We are excited about the potential of the acreage and look
forward to progressing activities there in the coming months.
We retain a strong balance sheet. At 30 September 2025, our net cash was
$135 million with cash of $226 million, prioritised for the purchase of
new production assets.”
PRODUCTION: KURDISTAN TAWKE PSC (25% interest)
• Gross production levels are now back to around 80,000 bopd, consistent
with the levels achieved in the first half of the year before the
interruption from drone strikes, whilst domestic sales prices averaged
$31/bbl for the quarter, with year to date average price $33/bbl
(FY2024: $35/bbl)
• Working interest production up to 30 September of 16,920 bopd (FY2024:
19,650 bopd)
• Efficient and effective work on well intervention and workovers
continues to yield good results, with plans to recommence drilling of
production wells well underway
• We expect to receive an insurance payment by the end of the year of
around $3 million for lost production arising from the drone strike
PRE-PRODUCTION
• OMAN BLOCK 54 (40% interest)
◦ Phase 1 of the 3-year work plan includes testing of the Batha
West-1 (BW-1) discovery well, conducting 300km2 of 3D seismic and
drilling two vertical exploration wells
◦ Initial operations will involve the workover of the existing
borehole to confirm suitability for testing followed by testing
of multiple pay zones to confirm reservoir deliverability
◦ Preparations are underway, with the workover anticipated to be
completed around the end of the year and testing results to
follow around the end of Q1 2026
◦ BW-1 well test will inform the location for 3D seismic and
subsequent wells
• SOMALILAND SL10B13 (51% interest)
◦ We continue to work towards achieving conditions that support
drilling of the highly prospective Toosan-1 exploration well
OUTLOOK
• We reiterate our guidance of net cash around the same level at the end
of the year as the start
• The Company continues to work towards building a business with a
strong balance sheet that delivers resilient, reliable, repeatable and
diversified cash flows that support a dividend programme
• Our near-term objectives are:
◦ the restart of exports from the Tawke and Peshkabir fields
◦ maximisation of production and reserves from the Tawke and
Peshkabir fields
◦ appraisal on Oman Block 54
◦ an agreed plan with KRG for recovery of overdue receivables
◦ the acquisition of new production assets
AGM UPDATE
• Following the Annual General Meeting on 8 May 2025 the Company
announced that resolutions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10,11 and 12 had over
20% of votes cast against them and is required to provide an update on
actions taken. The Company has reached out to major shareholders to
understand their views and as a result of this process no specific
actions have been identified
