An update from PetroTal Corp ( (TSE:TAL) ) is now available.
PetroTal Corp., a Peru-focused oil producer with core assets in the Bretaña and Los Angeles fields, reported that its year-end 2025 proved and proved-plus-probable oil reserves were essentially flat year-on-year at 66.4 million and 110.2 million barrels, respectively. The Bretaña field’s original oil in place estimates remain unchanged at 377 million barrels on a 1P basis and 494 million barrels on a 2P basis, underscoring the long-term scale of the company’s flagship asset.
Despite not drilling development wells in 2025, PetroTal replaced 106% of 1P and 76% of 2P reserves at Bretaña through revisions to its development plan, adding multiple new production and water disposal wells to its future drilling inventory. However, the present value of reserves fell sharply, with 1P after-tax PV10 declining 39% year-on-year, largely due to lower Brent price assumptions and higher expected development and infrastructure costs, highlighting increased sensitivity of asset valuations to the weaker commodity-price outlook.
Management signalled a more disciplined capital allocation strategy for 2026, slowing the pace of investment while preserving flexibility to accelerate activity if oil prices improve. The company plans to resume drilling in October 2026, positioning Bretaña’s sizable reserve base and reserve life indices of 5.2 years (PDP) and 9.3 years (1P) as a platform for future reserve and production growth when market conditions become more supportive.
