Latest Oil And Gas News

Carnarvon Energy has expanded its Bedout prospective resource inventory by 92% and secured a rig for a 2027 exploration campaign, but Dorado remains stalled before FEED and FID. The company ended FY26 with A$97.7 million in cash, no debt and a A$4.2 million after-tax loss.

Otto Energy plans to return approximately A$20 million to shareholders after consolidating its shares 100:1, with the proposed payment set at A$0.417 per post-consolidation share. The proposals require approval at the company’s 13 November 2026 AGM and remain subject to an outstanding ATO tax ruling.

Bass Oil says production at its Indonesian Bunian field has risen from 250 bopd to more than 800 bopd on a 100% share basis after Bunian 6 began producing from a newly discovered reservoir. Output could reach about 1,000 bopd once additional trucking capacity is available.

Karoon Energy has confirmed an electrical fault in the newly installed power cable serving Baúna’s SPS-92 well, deferring about 3,500 barrels of oil a day. The repair requires a rig-based intervention, prompting cuts to production guidance and higher unit cost forecasts for 2026.

Tetragon Energy has reported a $470,635 comprehensive loss in its first annual report, while highlighting a Philippine exploration portfolio carrying 3.214 Tcf of net mid-case prospective gas resources. The newly listed explorer ended the period with $715,713 in cash, before raising $4 million through its July ASX listing.

Invictus Energy has entered FY2027 with A$10.89 million in cash and a funded November drilling target, but its annual report warns that further financing may be required to continue operations. The company also reported a wider A$6.54 million loss for FY2026.

Tamboran Resources has delivered first gas from the Beetaloo Basin into the Northern Territory network, while completing its Sturt Plateau compression facility about US$9 million below forecast. The commercial milestone remains an early-stage start: volumes are demand-limited and commissioning is still underway.

Australian Oil Co has appointed Tom Streitberg as Executive Chairman for three years, with the incoming chair committing $300,000 to the company. The deal also introduces a substantial equity-based remuneration package and potential dilution for shareholders.

Brookside Energy has started stimulation work on two wells at its Suttles Pad in Oklahoma, with 64 stages planned before drill-out, flowback and production. The milestone brings the company’s approximately 70% working interest in the development closer to first sales, although no production date or volume guidance was provided.

Galilee Energy will begin sidetracking the Zydeco-1 well on 28 September to test five shallow oil zones in Louisiana. The A$3.5 million program is funded, but any move into production still depends on drilling, evaluation and flow-test results.

Strike Energy has moved South Erregulla into final commissioning and lifted West Erregulla’s net 2P reserves by about 20%, but the project-heavy year came with sharply lower earnings and operating cash flow. The company is now relying on execution, financing and new production to convert a larger asset base into cash generation.

Bass Oil’s Bunian 6 well has confirmed oil in a previously unproduced zone, with the company targeting a potential threefold increase in Tangai-Sukananti field production. August sales also improved as Cooper Basin exports resumed, while Vanessa and Kiwi advanced toward future gas development.
