Winter outlook16 Dec 2025 12:30
We know that historically winter usually sees a more subdued SP, albeit that was pre prod.
Realistically the news flow over winter will be flow rates (as mentioned H1 is decling, Gazelle was initially stated at 200bopd but appears to struggling). Hard to see any great news here, more likely is further downside.
The big one that could give a catalyst is the PC issue being resolved but obviously it’s not resolved. It’s now 3 months since the authorities allegedly sided with us and it’s still not agreed. Let alone signed - or then paid. They continue to pay late.
Farm in announcement could come at any time - or not all. The continued decline in production won’t help. If / when a deal is announced they’ll be a considerable time to get it over the line and then approved by the authorities. PC will also need to approve it as they’re our route to market - unless a partner decides to export it themselves (more delays).
This will inevitably drift down imo.
