Karoon Restores Baúna Output and Expands Capital Management Strategy
Karoon Energy Limited (ASX: KAR) has successfully restored production from the SPS-92 well at its Baúna Project in Brazil following completion of an electrical submersible pump replacement. The well is now producing around 8,600 barrels of oil per day, lifting total Baúna production to approximately 20,500 barrels per day before natural decline. Management also expects an additional 1,000–2,000 barrels per day once the PRA-2 well returns to service. While intervention costs exceeded initial estimates, the company believes the investment has reinstated a high-margin production source and strengthened Baúna's long-term cash flow potential. Updated 2026 capital expenditure guidance reflects higher spending at Baúna, partly offset by lower expected expenditure at the Who Dat project.
Separately, Karoon announced a third phase of its on-market share buyback program, scheduled to commence in July 2026 after completing approximately US$97 million of buybacks to date. The Board believes the shares remain undervalued and intends to continue returning capital while preserving financial flexibility for future growth opportunities. The measured buyback approach reflects Karoon's disciplined capital allocation strategy; balancing shareholder returns with investment in high-value projects and maintaining a strong balance sheet.
