Reserves also grew materially, with net 2P reserves up 51% to 13.6 MMboe and 2C contingent resources up 61% to 19.8 MMboe as of 30 June 2026. The group closed the year with US$37.4 million cash and modest net debt of US$11.3 million after paying out over A$33 million in shareholder dividends.

What's next for Horizon Oil Ltd?

Looking ahead, Horizon plans to unlock more value from its expanded portfolio with a series of near-term catalyst projects. The company is progressing field optimisation programs, infrastructure upgrades, and new drilling across its Asia-Pacific assets, including gas development in Thailand and appraisal activity in Australia and Indonesia.

Management highlighted ongoing cost discipline, a focus on high-return opportunities, and a strong commitment to shareholder returns as cornerstones of its future strategy.
