Investor presentation summary
19 Aug, 2026Strategic evolution and business model
Focus on responsible oil and gas production in West Africa, with ongoing development and exploration to sustain and grow output.
Portfolio includes operated assets in Ghana, non-operated assets in Gabon and Côte d'Ivoire, and discovered resources in Kenya.
Transitioned from turnaround and investment (2020-2022) to a cash-generative, Pan-African platform with reliable production and deleveraging.
Emphasizes capital discipline, cost reductions, and infrastructure-led organic growth, with inorganic opportunities considered.
Seeks to leverage expertise as a trusted partner and responsible operator in Africa's evolving energy landscape.
Financial performance and outlook
2024 half-year production increased to 63.1 kboepd, with realized oil price at $77.7/bbl and net debt reduced to $1.7 billion.
Full-year 2024 guidance reiterates production at the lower end of 62-68 kboepd, capex of ~$230 million, and free cash flow of $200-300 million at $80/bbl.
Operating costs and G&A have been significantly reduced since 2019, with 2024 capex focused 90% on existing producing assets.
Hedging policy protects against downside while increasing upside exposure, with legacy hedges rolling off in May 2024.
No uncovered debt maturities until May 2026; net debt targeted below $1.4 billion by YE24 and below $1.0 billion in the near term.
Operational excellence and asset performance
Jubilee South East project delivered on budget in July 2023, with high local content and top-tier drilling performance.
Jubilee field's 2024 production expected at ~90 kbopd, with strong FPSO uptime and ongoing water injection supporting reservoir pressure.
TEN and non-operated portfolio production above expectations, with ongoing field optimization and new projects supporting output.
Continued investment in facility upgrades and near-field exploration to sustain production and minimize decline.
