Valeura Energy (TSX: VLE): High production in 4Q24. Launching a share ...

• The 3Q24 production and cash position at the end of September had been reported previously. • Production in September and October stood at ~26.4 mbbl/d. This is very high. The company expects production to be ~26 mbbl/d over 4Q24. We only assumed 24-25 mbbl/d. • The high production combined with (1) the settlement in early October of a 0.18 mmbbl lifting sold at the end of 3Q24 and (2) above average liftings in 4Q24 suggests high cashflow and free cashflow in 4Q24. As previously reported, Vale...

Valeura Energy (TSX: VLE): Tax restructuring adds cash flow and showca...

• Valeura has completed the restructuring of its Thailand subsidiary companies. • Valeura’s working interests in all its Thai III fiscal contracts, covering the Nong Yao, Manora and Wassana fields will now be held in a single subsidiary. This will allow Valeura to use its US$397 mm tax losses at Wassana against the profits at Nong Yao and Manora. • The amount of tax losses is higher than we anticipated (~US$350 mm). Under our Brent price assumptions (US$70/bbl from 4Q25), we estimate that Valeur...

Valeura Energy (TSX: VLE): Another strong quarter

• 3Q24 production was 22.2 mbbl/d. This is well above our conservative forecast of 20.4 mbbl/d that incorporated more provisions for downtime and steeper declines. All the assets appear to be performing very well. • Production in September was 26.4 mbbl/d. This is above the already high rate of 26.2 mbbl/d announced at the end of August. • Valeura held US$156 mm in cash at the end of September. This was very close to our forecast of US$162 mm. However, the 3Q24 revenue and cash position at the e...

Valeura Energy (TSX: VLE): Production guidance re-iterated but lower c...

High production • Net production at Nong Yao has reached a stable level of ~12.1 mbbl/d. This compares with 6.3 mbbl/d in 2Q24. • This production, when combined with the Wassana field being back online, has resulted in stable aggregate WI oil production over the past week of 26.2 mbbl/d. We are assuming only 20.4 mbbl/d for 3Q24, which might be too conservative. • Valeura plans to maintain production at ~25 mbbl/d for at least the next four months. We are forecasting 24.8 mbbl/d production in 4Q...

Valeura Energy (TSX: VLE): Wassana production restart

• Through advanced underwater inspection, including magnetic particle inspection, Valeura has concluded that the observed anomaly (a crack within a weld) on the Wassana MOPU is superficial, and accordingly does not constitute a risk to the structural integrity of the facility. • Valeura has begun the process of restarting production operations and anticipates achieving pre-suspension oil production rates of ~5,000 bbl/d within a week. • Valeura is looking to accelerate the redevelopment of the ...

Valeura Energy (TSX: VLE): Operational blip offers an opportunity for ...

• • 2Q24 production was 21.1 mbbl/d, which was very close to our expectations (21.3 mbbl/d). • Production is expected to increase in 3Q24 with the start-up of production at Nong Yao C. Half of the planned drilling targets have already been drilled. • At Wassana, the crack within a weld on one of MOPU’s three steel legs may be superficial and therefore may not indicate a risk to the structural integrity of the MOPU. If the upcoming underwater inspection confirms this view, production could restar...
