Karoon Energy is revising its 2026 production outlook after discovering an electrical fault in the SPS-92 well at its Baúna project in Brazil. The company has shut down the well and plans a rig-based intervention to replace the faulty cabling, which will temporarily defer around 3,500 barrels of oil per day. As a result, Karoon has lowered its full-year production guidance for Baúna from 6.0-6.7 MMbbl to 5.4-5.7 MMbbl, with total 2026 production now expected to land between 6.6-7.2 MMboe. CEO Carri Lockhart stressed the company's commitment to restoring SPS-92 to full capacity while maximizing output from other Baúna wells.

Xreality Group has requested a trading halt on its securities while it works through material adjustments to its preliminary financial results for the year ended 30 June 2026.

Investors should expect an announcement once the company has finalized its revised numbers.
