Valeura Energy reported unaudited third-quarter results on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, showing stronger revenue and cash generation despite lower production. The company also announced a new oil discovery in Thailand, approved its first phase of Bussabong gas development and raised its full-year adjusted operating-cost outlook.

According to the Fidelity report carrying the company release, Valeura produced 2.036 million barrels of oil in Q3, or 22,128 barrels per day, down 4 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Sales reached 2.013 million barrels. The average realized price rose 35 percent to 97.4 US dollars per barrel, lifting revenue 26 percent to 196.1 million US dollars.

Higher prices strengthen cash generation

Adjusted EBITDAX increased 43 percent to 115.8 million US dollars, while adjusted cashflow from operations climbed 27 percent to 93.6 million US dollars. Net cash reached 384.9 million US dollars at September 30, including 15.8 million US dollars of restricted cash, and Valeura carried no debt. Adjusted net working capital rose 40 percent from December 31, 2025, to 366.5 million US dollars.

The stronger financial result was driven chiefly by pricing rather than volume growth. Valeura said operating costs rose 7 percent to 52.7 million US dollars, while adjusted opex increased 9 percent to 57.1 million US dollars. Diesel costs added an estimated 3.7 US dollars per barrel to adjusted opex compared with the original plan, keeping cost inflation central to the investment case.

Valeura Energy stock traded at 9.03 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 14:48 CET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

Thailand projects add development options

Valeura said drilling at the Manora field identified oil-bearing sandstone intervals in separate fault blocks, creating the Suraphi oil field on Block G1/48. Management is evaluating a fast-track development or additional appraisal drilling, with a decision expected by the end of 2026.

The company and partner PTTEP also took a final investment decision in September for the first phase of the Bussabong gas field on Block G3/65. The plan calls for two gas wellhead platforms tied to nearby processing infrastructure, with first production targeted for approximately year-end 2028.

At Wassana, the new central processing platform was completed on October 1 and installed offshore in October. Hook-up and commissioning have started, while development drilling is planned for later in Q4. The existing facilities are scheduled to shut down for about two months from mid-November as upgrades are carried out.

Guidance balances growth and costs

Valeura expects 2026 production to finish above the midpoint of its 20.0 million to 22.0 million barrel guidance range, even with the earlier Wassana shutdown. Capital spending remains guided at 220 million to 235 million US dollars, but adjusted opex guidance has been raised to 225 million to 235 million US dollars from the previous 190 million to 220 million US dollars range.

Chief Executive Sean Guest said the quarter combined exploration, development and production progress, while the cash balance and undrawn credit facility support further growth opportunities. The company plans to discuss the results in an investor and analyst webcast on Thursday, November 12, at 14:00 London time.
