Wassana anchors the near-term outlook

The Wassana redevelopment in the Gulf of Thailand is the central organic growth project. MarketBeat reported that management expects first output around late March or early June 2027, with production targeted to rise from roughly 3,000 barrels per day currently to 10,000 barrels per day by the end of the second quarter of 2027.

Guest said the redevelopment increased estimated reserves from 6 million to about 20 million barrels and extended the expected field life from 2027 into the early 2040s. Construction and offshore installation were completed about two months ahead of schedule, while drilling is expected to begin by the end of 2026.

Gas and balance-sheet options

Valeura and PTTEP have taken a final investment decision on the Bussabong gas development. The initial project is expected to produce 40 million standard cubic feet of gas per day gross, with first production targeted for late 2028.

MarketBeat reported more than 700 million US dollars of liquidity, including 385 million US dollars of cash and no debt. Management also said it could use debt for an acquisition, while targeting debt of about one times EBITDA if borrowing becomes necessary.

Valeura's July 8 Q2 2026 operations update reported production of 22.3 thousand barrels per day, revenue of 259.8 million US dollars and preliminary adjusted free cash flow of about 100 million US dollars. The company is scheduled to release its unaudited third-quarter results on November 11, 2026.
