Based on our Q4 survey of US shale companies, we expect continued efficiency gains, productivity improvements, and operational synergies from consolidation to drive ~5% YOY liquids production growth in 2025, broadly in line with 2024 levels. This is despite an estimated 5% YOY decline in capex, indicating that production is expanding steadily without a corresponding increase in activity. The combination of rising production and declining capex is likely to drive down breakeven levels, strengthen...
This week, Panoro Energy reported Q4 results and 2025 guidance in line with expectations. While production may trend towards the lower end of the guided 11–13kboed, the stock’s ~30% NAV discount suggests solid execution could drive a re-rating. Meanwhile, BlueNord expects to complete the Tyra completion test by mid-March, having already surpassed the 34.0kboed gas export threshold – a key milestone that would enable shareholder distributions. In exploration, Vår Energi announced a ~13–45mmboe di...
AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ Condor Energies (CDR CN)C; Target price of C$5.60 per share: 2nd success at bypassed carbonate formation intervals boosts production to >12 mboe/d - Condor has successfully perforated and brought online bypassed carbonate formations at a second well. As a result, production has increased from 11,455 boe/d reported last week to an average of 12,004 boe/d over the last six days. Using a combination of legacy data and reprocessed 3-D seis...
This week, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate (NOD) released preliminary January production figures for the NCS, showing a 6.5% YOY decline, with overall production at 4.17mmboed on weaker gas output. Uncertainty remains over Kurdistan oil exports, with reports suggesting a potential March restart, although Turkey has yet to receive confirmation. In exploration, the NOD confirmed the Bounty Updip prospect as dry.
The Norwegian Offshore Directorate’s (NOD) preliminary January NCS figures showed liquids production of 1,990kboed (0.5% above its forecast) and soft gas production of 346mcm/d (2.6% below its estimate). Overall production was 4.17mmboed (1% below its forecast), down 2.8% MOM and 6.5% YOY. Company-wise, December production should be well known following the Q4 results for our NCS coverage.
This week, Aker BP reported solid Q4 results, with 2025 production guidance in line with our estimates and consensus, although 2025 capex was slightly above. Vår Energi reported softer Q4 results than expected but raised its quarterly dividend from USD270m to USD300m (~15% yield). However, we remain cautious on long-term dividend sustainability, given the expected decline in FCF from 2027e due to raised capex guidance. Meanwhile, BlueNord announced its first dividend of USD215m (~15% yield), sch...
AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; Target price of A$0.30 per share: New acreage in Austria increases prospect inventory with a focus on low risk, shallow gas - ADX’s acreage in Austria has been modified to include additional near-term, low-risk gas prospects, as well as high-impact, higher-risk opportunities. One focus of the 2025 program is to drill shallow, low-risk, high initial production gas prospects that can be rapidly put into production. ...
Aker BP reported Q4 EBITDA slightly above our forecast and consensus. For 2025, the production was guided at 390–420kboed, capturing our estimate of 418kboed and consensus of 407kboed, while capex for 2025 edged slightly higher than expected. Still, we find Aker BP attractively valued, trading at a P/NAV of ~0.95x and a dividend yield of 11%, with dividends set to grow by 5% YOY over the few next years. We reiterate our BUY and NOK280 target price.
