Dr. Sean Guest, President and CEO commented:
'Our Q3 2026 production was exactly on plan, and once again, confirms our guidance expectations for the full year 2026. Operational performance has been very strong, with no deviations from our high standards on health, safety, and environmental stewardship. At the same time, our financial performance has been remarkable as the Company is able to capture full benefit of current oil prices as it carries no hedging, operates under simple tax/royalty-based fiscal terms, and benefits from historic tax loss carry-forwards. Our balance sheet is stronger than ever before, with US$385 million in cash and no debt.
During Q3, we advanced several strategic priorities including securing government approval for our Block G1/65 and G3/65 farm-in(1), and thereafter taking a final investment decision to pursue the first phase of gas development on the Bussabong field. We are also encouraged by the potential for additional oil development on Block G1/48 as a result of our exploration discovery of the Suraphi field, which we believe has the potential to extend the productive life of the Manora field and may support further exploration and development opportunities in the area.
We also achieved a key milestone at our Jasmine field this quarter, with cumulative production hitting the milestone of 100 million barrels of oil produced to date. More recently, our Wassana redevelopment project achieved a key milestone as well. Onshore construction of our new-build CPP was completed early and is on track for accelerated installation, starting in October 2026.
Operationally and financially, our business is delivering extremely well and I am pleased to see external recognition of this across all aspects of our business. This quarter we were recognised by the Toronto Stock Exchange as one of the top 30 performing companies based on three-year share price performance. We received four awards from the Thailand Ministry of Environment for our environmental monitoring practices. And finally, our Company’s approach to adopting new technology was recognised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers in Thailand in response to our introduction of complex multi-lateral drilling at the Nong Yao field. .

Q3 2026 Update
Valeura’s working interest share production before royalties was on plan for Q3 2026, averaging 22.1 mbbls/d. The Company sold a total of 2.013 million bbls of oil during the quarter with average realised prices of US$97.4/bbl, resulting in revenue of US$196.1 million. Revenue includes crude oil receivables of US$22.5 million at 30 September 2026, in respect of oil sales just prior to the end of the quarter. The Company anticipates collecting upon such receivable in the early part of Q4 2026.
The Company’s cash position increased to US$384.9 million at 30 September 2026. Valeura has no debt.
Wassana CPP Completion
Onshore construction of the Wassana CPP was fully completed on 01 October 2026. Jacket and CPP have been loaded on to vessels for transportation and installation on the field, starting in October. This follows the installation of an oil export pipeline which will connect the new CPP to the floating storage and offloading vessel, which was completed in September, on plan and budget. The Company is planning to begin development drilling late in 2026.
Overall, the Company’s plan to accelerate the original Wassana redevelopment project schedule by approximately two months is on track. Management continues to forecast first oil production from the CPP at approximately the beginning of Q2 2027.
Results Timing
Valeura intends to release its full unaudited financial and operating results for Q3 2026 on 11 November 2026 and will discuss the results in more detail through a management webcast.
