Serica Energy (LSE:SQZ) has announced a temporary suspension of production at the Triton Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel due to a technical issue with its flare system. As a result, production levels are expected to fall below the previously guided range of 29,000 to 32,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). The company is working closely with the field operator to resolve the issue and optimize performance, with the goal of restoring production to levels consistent with the asset’s subsurface potential. The incident underscores the operational challenges Serica faces, which could affect near-term production targets and investor confidence.
Despite these challenges, Serica Energy maintains a stable financial position supported by strong liquidity and a disciplined growth strategy. The company continues to face inconsistent revenue growth and negative earnings, and short-term technical indicators signal bearish momentum. However, a positive outlook for 2026, combined with a solid dividend yield, provides a degree of optimism for shareholders.
