Forward guidance

Talos Energy provided its 2023 operational and financial guidance, focusing on cash flow generation and key long-term projects. Production is expected to be between 72.0 and 76.0 MBoe/d, with oil and gas capital investments of $650 to $675 million and CCS investments between $70 and $90 million.

Tailwinds

  • Production between 72.0 and 76.0 MBoe/d, including 10.5 months of production from the recent EnVen acquisition.
  • Oil and gas capital investments of $650 to $675 million focused on developing recent drilling successes.
  • CCS investments between $70 and $90 million, which may grow as additional key milestones and further portfolio expansions are achieved.
  • Expected production growth of approximately 20-25% between 2023 and 2026, or a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 6-8% per year over the same period.
  • Capital allocation framework focused on continued debt reduction, investment in key Upstream and CCS catalysts, and providing a path towards returning capital to shareholders.

Headwinds

  • Talos elected to remove the gas-weighted Lisbon prospect from its 2023 drilling calendar despite its near-term potential production rate of approximately 8-10 MBoe/d.
  • The closing date of the EnVen acquisition was February 13, 2023, therefore the transaction is contributing approximately 10.5 months of financial performance compared to an expected full year at the announcement of the acquisition in 2022.
  • Operations on the Bulleit DTR-10 Sand recompletion recommenced in February 2023 following a successful fracture stimulation, including the running of an additional casing liner due to loop currents experienced in late 2022.
  • Rigolets prospect in the second quarter of 2023; If successful, Rigolets would flow via subsea tieback to the Company’s Pompano platform with production achievable in the second half of 2024.
  • Zama Field Development Plan (“FDP”). The partnership is targeting the submission of the FDP to the regulator by the March 23, 2023 deadline.
