Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Asset Portfolio Transformation: Proved reserves decreased by 54.9 MMBoe (59%) primarily due to the divestiture of 53.2 MMBoe of reserves in Oklahoma, East Texas, and the Eagle Ford. Remaining reserves are 93% oil and 7% NGLs.

- Impairment Charges: The Company recorded $42.5 million in impairment expense in 2025 (none in 2024) related to assets held for sale prior to divestiture.
- Leadership Transition: In July 2025, Mr. Martyn Willsher stepped down as CEO. Mr. Daniel Furbee was appointed CEO and Director, and Mr. James Frew was appointed President and CFO.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook and Guidance
For the full year 2026, the Company expects capital expenditures to range between $45.0 million and $65.0 million. The budget is allocated 97% to the Beta field and 3% to Bairoil. Management anticipates funding this program through internally generated cash flow and existing cash on hand.
Management Commentary
Management states that the divestitures have streamlined the operating profile, reduced ongoing capital requirements, and significantly enhanced liquidity. The Company is now focused on maximizing value from its remaining mature, operated assets.
Risks and Contingencies
- Internal Control Material Weakness: The Company identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to personnel changes and technical accounting knowledge. The auditor issued an adverse opinion on internal controls, though the financial statements received an unqualified opinion.
- Customer Concentration: The Company relies on a small number of significant customers. Phillips 66 accounted for 28% of 2025 revenues, and HF Sinclair accounted for 21%. The loss of these customers could materially impact operations.
- Decommissioning Obligations: Significant asset retirement obligations (ARO) exist, particularly for the Beta offshore properties. The Company is required to fund escrow accounts for decommissioning, with future commitments of approximately $9.0 million annually through 2033.
- Commodity Price Volatility: As an oil-focused producer, the Company is highly sensitive to fluctuations in crude oil prices. Realized prices in 2025 averaged $60.76/Bbl for oil.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Divestiture Proceeds: Verify the final net proceeds from the Revolution ($88.7M), EQV ($111.6M), and Eagle Ford ($21.1M) sales and confirm the full payoff of the Revolving Credit Facility.
- Internal Control Remediation: Monitor the Company's progress in remediating the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting to ensure future reporting reliability.
- Decommissioning Funding: Review the sufficiency of the restricted investments ($40.2M) and future cash flows to meet the $9.0M annual sinking fund requirements for Beta decommissioning.
- Customer Contracts: Assess the status of new sales agreements replacing the terminated Phillips 66 refinery contract and the stability of the remaining customer base.
- Reserve Life: Confirm the reserve-to-production ratio of approximately 15.9 years for the remaining Bairoil and Beta assets and the timeline for developing the 13.5 MMBoe of proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs).
