Coelacanth Energy, Inc. ( (TSE:CEI) ) has shared an announcement.

Coelacanth Energy Inc. has ramped up production to approximately 8,000 boe/d, with an additional 1,600 boe/d temporarily shut in and expected back on stream by the end of April 2026. First-quarter 2026 output is estimated at 6,200 boe/d, an eightfold increase from the same period in 2025, driven by new wells despite delays from higher-than-expected frac flowback water and battery water-handling constraints.

The company’s Montney position includes significant discovered and undiscovered oil and gas in place, and with production now established on a small portion of its land base, Coelacanth plans further step-out and development drilling. Management says recent operations have refined its geological model and operational design, boosting confidence in the undeveloped acreage and setting up drilling and completion work to resume in early summer.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:CEI) stock is a Buy with a C$1.20 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Coelacanth Energy, Inc. stock, see the TSE:CEI Stock Forecast page.
