Serica Energy generated operating cash flow after tax of USD 280m in the first half of 2026 and turned net debt of USD 200m at the start of the year into net cash of USD 26m. Revenue and production rose thanks to higher output and realized prices; average production was just over 45,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. For 2026 the company expects operating cash flow of USD 450–475m and maintained the interim dividend at GBP 0.06 per share. Management warns of maintenance-related weaker production in Q3 but expects marked strength in Q4, and cites planned acquisitions (Spirit Energy, Pharos) and a drilling programme as growth drivers. » More on de.investing.com
