Key Points
- Production levels have stabilized, leading to an increase in midpoint guidance from 49,000 BOE a day to 49,500 BOE a day.
- Projected higher free funds flow of $220 million at the midpoint of guidance range due to conservative capital focus.
- Successful drilling results at LLA-32 with a new well producing roughly 2,000 barrels per day gross.
- Strong performance from the latest well at Capachos, producing roughly 5,000 BOE per day gross.
- Significant reduction in current taxes due to lower corporate production and oil prices, enhancing financial flexibility.
- Lower corporate growth outlook than originally planned, impacting future expansion strategies.
