VAALCO's Ebouri-5H Well Flows Over 8,000 BOPD Offshore Gabon

Houston – October 12, 2026 -- VAALCO Energy (NYSE: EGY, LSE: EGY) has brought the Ebouri-5H development well online offshore Gabon at an initial rate above 8,000 gross barrels of oil per day (BOPD), or 4,700 BOPD net to the company, with very low water cut.

Ebouri-5H hits 300 meters of net pay in Gamba sands

The well was drilled at the top of the Ebouri structure with a 300-meter lateral of net pay in high-quality Gamba sands. VAALCO completed the well and placed it on production as part of its ongoing Gabon drilling campaign.

Rig moves to SEENT platform for two development wells

The rig has been mobilized to the SEENT platform, where VAALCO plans to drill two development wells. The first, ETBNM-3, is planned as a directionally drilled slant well adjacent to the GMF-1X discovery well. It targets gas and condensate resources in the Dentale D15 reservoir from the crest of the North Tchibala structure.

Vaalco Brings Gabon Gas Well Online, Spuds ETSEM-3PH Pilot

Houston – October 12, 2026 -- VAALCO Energy has placed the ETBNM-3 gas-supply well in offshore Gabon on production, securing enough gas for field operations, liftings and power needs and cutting reliance on higher-priced diesel.

ETBNM-3 reservoir quality exceeds pre-drill estimates

The well targets the Dentale D-15 reservoir in the crestal portion of the North Tchibala structure. Vaalco reported strong porosity and permeability and more than 10 meters of net reservoir pay, both above pre-drill estimates.

The well adds no production or sales directly. CEO George Maxwell said it should improve field uptime and could lift output from existing wells over time by displacing diesel.
