The significant capital program increase and 15% production growth target for 2027 signal strong operational momentum and management confidence. Monitor Q3 2026 operational updates for well results and waterflood progress, which will determine if the growth trajectory is on track. The improved netback assumptions are heavily dependent on sustained US$80/bbl WTI — any commodity price weakness would pressure FCF.
