12 Aug, 2026Strategic transformation and portfolio expansion
Achieved record FY 2026 production of 2.15 MMboe and sales of almost 2 MMboe, up 33% and 22% year-on-year, before Cue Energy Resources contribution.
Expanded to a five-country platform with nine producing oil and gas fields after acquiring Cue Energy Resources, operating across the Asia-Pacific.
Diversification now spans cash flow, commodity exposure, maturity, and opportunity type, not just geography.

Current net production is approximately 7,300 boepd, including Cue Energy Resources, as of August 2026.

At 30 June 2026, retained AUD 37.4 million in cash after debt repayments, dividends, and Cue acquisition costs.
Net debt stood at AUD 11.3 million, maintaining balance sheet flexibility while funding growth and reducing debt.

Thailand assets (Sinphuhorm & Nam Phong) now a key cash flow engine, with Q4 revenue up 18% to AUD 7.3 million.
