Latest Oil Production News

Jupiter Energy remained operationally cashflow positive in FY2026, but its cash position weakened sharply as revenue declined and drilling plans remained dependent on new funding. The Kazakhstan oil producer also carried US$13.87 million of interest-free promissory note debt after a post-year-end repayment.

Galilee Energy has shifted the Zydeco-1 sidetrack from its original gas-condensate focus to five shallow oil zones carrying up to 422.6 thousand barrels of gross unrisked Prospective Resources. The A$3.5 million placement is expected to fund the revised oil testing and potential production design.

Otto Energy delivered a sharp rise in FY26 profit and operating cash flow, but the improvement came alongside falling production, depleted reserves and an unresolved asset monetisation plan. The debt-free oil and gas producer is now weighing a shareholder cash return while pursuing separate strategies for SM 71 and GC 21.

AXP Energy says its Charlie #1 well delivered an operating-rate equivalent of approximately 55 barrels of oil equivalent per day during a controlled 10-day test. The result is encouraging, but water-handling upgrades and longer-duration data are still needed before the well can move into permanent production.

Bass Oil has returned to profit for the first half of 2026, with EBITDA rising 80% and cash reserves strengthening while the company remains debt-free. The result comes as it moves towards first gas from Vanessa, advances the Kiwi project and prepares to tie in the stronger-than-expected Bunian 6 well.

Australian Oil Co says Emu Apple-1 is producing 10-20 barrels of oil a day after intervention with no water cut observed so far. Stronger oil prices are prompting assessments of further well restarts, while Californian gas output and the Major-4 offtake plan advance in parallel.

Bass Oil has set out a growth plan spanning Indonesian oil production, a planned Vanessa gas restart and development of its Kiwi discovery in South Australia. The strategy offers several potential catalysts, but much of the upside remains dependent on funding, approvals and execution.

Bass Oil’s Bunian 6 well in Indonesia has uncovered a previously untested third oil pay zone, set to triple production and boost field reserves potential.

AXP Energy has launched gas-to-power operations at its Oklahoma site with a 320 kW natural gas generator, enabling a promising initial oil flow test at the Charlie #1 well. A 10-day extended test aims to optimise production while balancing gas-powered electricity generation.

Horizon Oil Limited delivered record FY26 production of 2.15 million barrels of oil equivalent and expanded its reserves by 51% to 13.6 million boe, driven by strategic acquisitions and disciplined capital management.

FAR Limited swung to a US$1.44 million profit for H1 2026, driven by contingent payments from its Senegal asset sale, and completed a substantial A$32.3 million capital return to shareholders.

AXP Energy is installing a 320kW natural gas generator at its Edwards Lease in Oklahoma to power digital mining equipment, marking its first commercial gas-to-power project following a successful Colorado trial.
