Preparations for the drilling of three wells, which will begin in Q4 2025, are ongoing. The main contracts have been awarded for the start of the campaign.
Venezuela
M&P Iberoamerica's working interest oil production (40%) on the Urdaneta Oeste field amounted to 8,017 bopd in the first half of 2025, up 18% compared to the second half of 2024.
Two liftings were made in the first half of 2025, totalling around one and a half million barrels. Between January and the end of May 2025, M&P received $33 million in dividends (net of the 20% paid to M&P Iberoamerica's minority shareholder) thanks to the debt payment mechanism in place for Petroregional del Lago ("PRDL").
The licence issued to M&P by the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") to operate in Venezuela expired on 27 May 2025. M&P has adjusted its operations accordingly, and these are now limited to maintenance work to ensure the safety of personnel and facilities while production continues.
M&P remains actively in contact with the US authorities and continues to monitor developments closely.
Information on the ongoing acquisition of a 61% stake in the Sinu-9 gas permit in Colombia
On 9 February 2025, M&P signed a definitive agreement with NG Energy International Corp. ("NG Energy"), for the acquisition of a 40% operating working interest in the Sinu-9 gas permit in Colombia for $150 million. The effective economic date of the transaction was 1 February 2025. In addition, a second agreement was signed on 2 July 2025 with the minority partners of Sinu-9, for M&P to acquire an additional 21% interest, for a consideration of $78.75 million.
Closing of the transactions remains subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the approval of Colombia's ANH, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
The original interest assignment agreement with NG Energy was submitted to Colombia's ANH shortly after signing in February 2025. M&P anticipates that the ANH will now review all transactions in parallel, with all necessary approvals expected to be received by September 2025.
A $20 million deposit was paid to NG Energy at the end of February. At 30 June 2025, the balance outstanding amounted to $205.8 million:
- A supplemental payment of $20 million to NG Energy was made in early July;
- A deposit of $2.95 million to the minority partners, which was also paid in early July;
- A payment of $125.8 million to be made upon completion of the transactions ($50 million for NG Energy and $75.8 million to the minority partners);
- Two deferred payments of $30 million each to NG Energy will follow: the first, three months after closing, and the second, six months after closing.
An adjustment reflecting cash flows for the period from the effective economic date (1 February 2025) to completion will be made for the transaction with NG Energy.
In addition, M&P will have a 12-month option from completion to acquire an additional 5% working interest in Sinu-9 from NG Energy for a consideration of $18.75 million, with an effective economic date of 1 February 2025.
Sinu-9 achieved first gas production in November 2024, under the ongoing long-term test of the Magico-1X and Brujo-1X wells. Gross production capacity has been around 15 mmcfd (9 mmcfd net to the acquired 61% working interest) since early July, following the commissioning of a second compressor on the mobile unit installed on the Brujo-1X platform. Evacuation infrastructure is in place today for 30mmcfd, which will be increased up to 40 mmcfd (24 mmcfd net to the acquired 61% working interest) by the end of October 2025.
Financial position
The Group had a positive net cash position of $91 million at 30 June 2025, compared with $34 million at 31 December 2024. Its cash position was $225 million versus gross debt of $134 million, of which $85 million in bank loan and $49 million in shareholder loan. M&P repaid $26 million of gross debt in the first half of 2025 ($19 million in bank loan and $7 million in shareholder loan).
Thanks to the completion on 11 April 2025 of an accordion facility of $113 million on the bank loan, available bank liquidity at 30 June amounted to $404 million (excluding the $100 million tranche of the shareholder loan available and undrawn to date), and includes:
- $225 million in cash;
- $50 million undrawn from the amortised loan, available until January 2026; and
- $130 million undrawn RCF (revolving credit facility), available until July 2027.
A refinancing of the bank loan is envisaged for the second half of 2025, to extend its term beyond its current maturity in July 2027.

By their very nature, forecasts involve risk and uncertainty insofar as they are based on events or circumstances which may or may not occur in the future. These forecasts are based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which may prove to be incorrect and which depend on a number of risk factors, such as fluctuations in crude oil prices, changes in exchange rates, uncertainties related to the valuation of our oil reserves, actual rates of oil production and the related costs, operational problems, political stability, legislative or regulatory reforms, or even wars, terrorism and sabotage.
