In the third quarter, PetroNor, an Africa-focused independent oil and gas exploration and production company, delivered stable production and completed an infill drilling programme that is adding rate during the fourth quarter. The company achieved a lifting and sale of 540,000 bbls of entitlement oil in Q4 2025.
Following this sale the company’s balance sheet will be strengthened by an estimated USD 33 million, which supports the possibility of a 2026 distribution to shareholders, in line with the strategy focused on maximising value of existing portfolio and returning excess cash to shareholders.
'Over the past 12 months, PetroNor has delivered distributions to its shareholders of up to ~47 per cent of the market value of the company and remains committed to financial discipline and attractive shareholder returns. During Q3, a five well infill drilling programme was completed, and going into Q4 we are seeing increased production. The lifting and sale of our entitlement oil inventory will mean a welcome addition to our revenue and cash reserves in December,' says CEO Jens Pace.
The interim financial report and presentation material for the quarter ended 30 September 2025 are available on the company’s website.
