- Consistent gas production averaging 80,000 scm/day at Podere Maiar-1
- Completion of 3D geophysical survey on time and under budget
- Net operating cashflow of €859k for the quarter
- €6 million invested in short-term Italian government bonds
- Progress on environmental impact assessments for multiple new wells
Steady Production Anchors Financial Performance
Po Valley Energy Limited (ASX, PVE) has delivered a stable operating quarter ending December 2025, with its Podere Maiar-1 (PM-1) gas facility in northern Italy maintaining consistent production levels. Averaging around 80,000 standard cubic metres (scm) per day, the facility generated gross revenue of approximately €2.3 million for the quarter. This steady output has underpinned strong operating cashflows, with net operating cashflow reported at €859,000.
The company’s net share of production, reflecting its 63% interest in the Selva Malvezzi Production Concession, reached nearly 4.4 million scm for the quarter. Despite minor shutdowns for maintenance and well interventions, production quickly returned to expected levels, demonstrating operational resilience.
Strategic Investment and Cash Management
In a notable treasury move, Po Valley invested €6 million of its cash reserves into short-term Italian government bonds during the quarter. While these investments are classified as financial assets rather than cash equivalents, they provide the company with readily realisable funds and reflect a disciplined approach to capital management amid ongoing development activities. After this investment, the company’s cash balance stood at €2.46 million, with total available funding, including investments, at €8.46 million.
Advancing Exploration and Development Plans
Po Valley successfully completed a 3D geophysical survey covering approximately 140 square kilometres of the Selva Malvezzi concession. The survey, conducted under favourable weather conditions and careful planning, was delivered on time and under budget. The high-resolution subsurface data will be critical in refining the company’s development plans for four key wells, Casale Guida-1d, Ronchi-1d, Bagnarola-1d, and Selva Malvezzi-1d. Results from the data processing phase are expected to be released in the second quarter of 2026.
Meanwhile, the company is progressing environmental impact assessments (EIA) to incorporate Ministry recommendations and address newly established protected areas following a 2024 regional court ruling. These assessments are essential for securing approvals to advance drilling and production activities across the concession.
Operational Leadership and Broader Asset Portfolio
To support its Italian operations, Po Valley appointed Manuel Porcelli as General Manager in December 2025. Porcelli brings two decades of energy sector experience, including project and financial management roles, positioning him to oversee the company’s operational and strategic objectives effectively.
Beyond Selva Malvezzi, Po Valley continues to evaluate exploration and development opportunities at other Italian assets such as Cadelbosco di Sopra, Grattasasso, and Torre del Moro. The company is exploring partnerships to optimise development paths, particularly for prospects with oil contingent resources and deep gas potential.
Bottom Line?
With steady production and strategic investments underpinning its position, Po Valley Energy is poised to unlock further value as it awaits critical survey results and regulatory approvals in 2026.
Questions in the middle?
- How will the upcoming 3D geophysical survey results influence Po Valley’s development strategy?
- What impact will the ongoing environmental assessments have on project timelines and costs?
- Could Po Valley pursue additional partnerships to accelerate exploration at its other Italian assets?
