Israel production disruptions
The ministry shut the Energean Power FPSO from 28 February to 9 April 2026 (41 days). The 20 May update cut 2026 Group guidance to 130-140 kboed.

Angola Block 14 acquisition
Energean signed on 12 March 2026 to buy Chevron's Block 14 and 14K stakes offshore Angola for $260m. Etu Energias gave pre-emption notice on 3 June 2026. In August 2026 Etu executed its own SPA with Chevron. Energean's SPA stays in effect until that one completes, so the deal now looks likely to be lost.

Cassiopea arbitration and impairment
Arbitration began in January 2026 between Energean Italy and the Cassiopea operator, with the field performing below the operator's expectations. The 19 March 2026 FY2025 results book the impairment: a $258m loss after tax, mainly non-cash. Group 2P reserves include a 25 mmboe Cassiopea downgrade. The results say nothing new on the arbitration.
