• Production and Guidance:

  • Q1 2025 production: 52.9kboe/d, down 14% year-on-year due to planned maintenance.

  • Ghana update: Jubilee field drilling campaign started; first well onstream in 3Q25; 4D seismic analysis ongoing.

• Overall Outlook: Negative sentiment with UNDERPERFORM rating, driven by breakeven realities and production uncertainties.
