Chief Executive Officer“GKP’s operational and financial performance in the first half of 2026 demonstrated the resilience of our business, our people and the Shaikan Field through a period of significant regional disruption. Our priority throughout has been the safety of our workforce while decisive action to reduce expenditures has enabled us to minimise cash outflow, maintain a robust, debt-free balance sheet and pay a $12.5 million dividend to shareholders.
We are pleased to have recently restarted production and exports following the extension of the tripartite interim export agreements, with volumes continuing to ramp up to prior levels. Despite the security issues in 2026 impacting production, the interim export agreements have worked effectively, with improved remuneration relative to local sales and consistent payments without delay following crude liftings.
Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, our focus is on maintaining stable production and exports, progressing the PF-2 water handling project and securing full PSC entitlement for past and present export sales at international prices. The latter would bolster cash flow generation, supporting our decision today to announce a semi-annual dividend of $10 million, and provide the foundations for a return to production growth in 2027. I would like to thank our staff, shareholders and wider stakeholders for their continued support.”
