ShaMaran Reports First Quarter 2024 Results


VANCOUVER, BC, May 8, 2024 /CNW/ - ShaMaran Petroleum Corp. ("ShaMaran" or the "Company") (TSXV: SNM) (Nasdaq First North: SNM) today released its financial and operating results and related management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. PDF Version

Garrett Soden, President and CEO of ShaMaran, commented: "The Sarsang and Atrush blocks performed well in Q1 2024 with the highest quarterly EBITDAX1 since we started selling to the local market last year. We continue to focus on optimizing cash flow with our operating partners while looking to reach a commercial solution on the restart of exports through the Iraq-Türkiye pipeline. The timing of the pipeline reopening remains uncertain, but the relevant parties are working to resolve outstanding issues following the recent diplomacy between leaders of Kurdistan, Iraq and Türkiye. In the meantime, we look forward to closing the Atrush transaction with TAQA and HKN."
