• Tawke production restarted on June 28 after a four-month suspension, and investment drilling has resumed. Management said July cash increased to $240 million, supported by disciplined spending and a low-leverage balance sheet.
• The production stoppage materially weakened first-half results, with average net production of just 6,600 barrels per day versus a 20,000-barrel-per-day plan. Genel remains unable to resume international exports until it receives payments consistent with its production-sharing contract.
• Genel raised an additional $35 million through its existing bond at an implied interest cost of about 9.7%, bringing total debt to $127 million while retaining substantial borrowing headroom. The company said the funds are available for deployment, including potential growth initiatives.
• Organic growth plans remain focused on drilling Block 54 in Oman and Toosan-1 in Somaliland in 2027. Toosan-1 is advancing through internal approval stages, but technical, commercial, operational and geopolitical uncertainties—including potential Red Sea supply-chain disruption—could affect the timing of a final drilling commitment.
