Panoro Energy – Third Quarter 2025 Trading and Financial Update
Source: www.gulfoilandgas.com 11/20/2025, Location: Africa
Panoro Energy ASA (“Panoro” or the “Company”) is pleased to report financial and operational performance for Q3 and the first nine months of 2025.
Julien Balkany, Executive Chairman of Panoro, commented:
“As previously communicated our group working interest production of 10,611 bopd in the first nine months is a 15 per cent increase compared to the same period last year, and reflects continued strong performance at our flagship Dussafu block offshore Gabon where we are set to resume development drilling in the coming months at MaBoMo Phase 2 and are also progressing the Bourdon discovery to final investment decision. Output in Tunisia has been stable partially offsetting the unplanned downtime in Equatorial Guinea, where deferred volumes are in the process of being restored at Block G. Our financial performance in the first nine months has tracked our crude oil lifting schedule which has been in line with expectations.
On the exploration side we are accelerating workstreams and seeing some positive activities across our portfolio. On the Niosi and Guduma blocks offshore Gabon that have vastly increased our footprint in the vicinity of Dussafu, we are about to start acquiring new 3D seismic. In Equatorial Guinea, our promising block EG-23 offers significant discovered resources with an extensive inventory of prospects that are under evaluation and could be tied back to nearby existing infrastructure.
The Board has today declared a Q3 cash distribution of NOK 80 million, bringing aggregate cash distributed year-to-date to NOK 320 million. Together with share buybacks year-to-date of NOK 83.2 million we have returned over NOK 403 million so far in 2025 to shareholders in line with our shareholder returns policy.”
