Executive summary

  • Achieved strong operational and financial performance in H1 2025, with 12% higher gross average production at 44,100 bopd year-over-year, supported by robust local demand and disciplined capital management.

  • Production was temporarily disrupted in July due to security incidents, but returned to near full capacity in August after consultation with the Kurdistan Regional Government.

  • Declared two interim dividends totaling $50 million for 2025, reflecting strong cash generation and no outstanding debt.

  • Advanced field development with the sanctioning and contract signing for water handling facilities at PF-2, expected to unlock 4,000–8,000 bopd incremental production by 2027.

  • Focused on unlocking export restart and realizing potential upside, with increased engagement with government stakeholders.

Financial highlights

  • Free cash flow was $24.6 million, supporting $50 million in dividends, but down 8% from H1 2024 due to higher capex and working capital outflows.

  • Cash balance stood at $99 million at June-end, increasing to $106 million by late August 2025.

  • Gross OpEx per barrel remained flat at $4.2, with total OpEx up due to higher production and well service costs.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
