Central Petroleum Limited ( (AU:CTP) ) has issued an update.

Central Petroleum has amended its recently announced sale of several Northern Territory sub-salt exploration permits to Georgina Energy, removing EP82, which contains the smaller Magee/Mahler prospects, from the transaction and retaining ownership of its subsidiary Helium Australia Pty Ltd. The change allows Georgina to concentrate on the larger, higher-potential EP112 (Dukas) and EP125 (Mt Kitty) permits and other Amadeus and Officer Basin targets, while Central has notified its withdrawal from the EP82 joint venture with Santos and expects to book a $4.2 million impairment charge in its FY26 accounts, signalling a strategic refocus on more commercially attractive helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon opportunities.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CTP) stock is a Hold with a A$0.06 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Central Petroleum Limited stock, see the AU:CTP Stock Forecast page.
