Auctus Advisors

Auctus Advisors is a specialist Equity Capital Markets and Advisory business with a focus in the Energy Sector.

The partners have complementary skill sets, with decades of experience across Equity Capital Markets, Investment Banking and the Energy industry. We have worked at Société Générale, Canaccord Capital, BMO Capital Markets and Schlumberger. Most recently we have worked together for many years at GMP FirstEnergy.

Auctus has been set up at the beginning of a new decade in which we see significant opportunities in the Energy space. Globally, demand for energy is at record levels and continues to grow. Conversely, investment in traditional energy sources has been severely constrained. We believe this imbalance creates opportunities for both companies and investors.

Auctus provides Corporate Broking, Equity Research and Investment Banking services.

Vaalco Energy (NYSE: EGY): Much stronger balance sheet than expected. ...

• FY25 WI production averaged 21,150 boe/d, landing comfortably within the upgraded guidance range of 20.8–22.2 mboe/d. • Vaalco ended FY25 with US$58.8 mm in cash, an increase of ~US$35 mm versus end‑September levels, achieved without drawing further on the RBL facility. • YE25 net debt position (based on cash and debt and excluding the rest of the balance sheet) was just US$1 mm, far below our expectation of ~US$100 mm.

• The first horizontal well is now onstream. Only the shallower interval has been tested to date, delivering 3.6 mmcf/d. The full ~1 km lateral — including the zones with the strongest gas‑show responses — has not yet been accessed. A larger‑diameter coiled‑tubing unit than is currently available is required to displace the completion fluid; the smaller‑diameter unit used by Condor could not safely reach the end of the open‑hole lateral without risking damaging the open hole section. • Addition...

The strong quarter reflects the performance of the Jasmine drilling programme, where 9 new producers were drilled, including 8 horizontals. This campaign lifted Jasmine output from 7,300 bbl/d to 8,600 bbl/d. • The company reported ~US$306 mm in cash at YE25, ~US$20 mm above our expectations, supported by favourab...
