PetroTal reported first-quarter 2026 production of 14,907 barrels of oil per day and sales of 14,350 barrels per day, with adjusted EBITDA jumping 90% quarter-on-quarter to $35.1 million on stronger realized oil prices despite slightly lower volumes. Free funds flow climbed to $25.7 million, cash on hand reached $128.3 million, and the company sharply raised its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $110-120 million.

Operationally, PetroTal is preparing the Bretana field for a return to growth, advancing water injection capacity, scheduling workovers on three wells and signing a drilling contract to restart development drilling in October 2026. The company continues to invest in erosion control, where it has spent $36.8 million to date and is retendering the terminated construction contract, while maintaining significant liquidity and modest hedging for the rest of 2026.
