Gulf Keystone Petroleum ( (GB:GKP) ) has provided an update.
Gulf Keystone Petroleum has published its 2025 report on payments to governments, detailing transfers made under UK transparency rules for extractive industries. All reported payments relate to its Shaikan operations in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and are made to the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Natural Resources.
For 2025, the company disclosed total government‑related production entitlements and royalties of 6.884 million barrels, valued at $250.1 million, including licence fees and capacity building deductions. The data underscores the scale of value transferred to the Kurdish authorities and highlights how a shift from local sales to pipeline exports to Türkiye from late September 2025 influences how these in‑kind government entitlements are generated and monetised.

Spark’s Take on GKP Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GKP is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by strong financial resilience (very low leverage) alongside a constructive technical trend. Offsetting factors include volatile earnings/free cash flow and elevated P/E valuation, while earnings-call commentary adds ongoing geopolitical and export-restart uncertainty despite disciplined guidance and continued dividends.
