Vaalco Energy is ramping up production as the Etame drilling campaign concludes and a new joint venture with Canadian Natural Resources begins. Recent Gabon drilling results have exceeded expectations. Cash flow is set to improve due to strong drilling outcomes and higher-than-anticipated commodity prices.
VAALCO Energy is nearing completion of a major FPSO refurbishment. EGY's strong balance sheet and prudent management enabled it to weather production shutdowns and finance necessary upgrades with manageable debt. Unexpectedly high commodity prices and Egyptian receivables recovery are providing additional cash flow tailwinds as production ramps up.
Vaalco Energy Inc (NYSE:EGY, LSE:EGY) has restarted production at its Baobab field offshore Côte d'Ivoire after completing a refurbishment of the field's floating production vessel. The field, on the CI-40 block, is back online following work on the Baobab Ivoirien floating production, storage and offloading vessel, the Houston-based oil and gas producer said.
