Poland
The Company’s focus during the quarter was to develop a drilling and completion strategy to deliver commercial oil production from the Mniszow oil discovery. The Company developed this strategy by working with a team of specialist contractors, including during the site visit in September.
The development strategy involving lateral drilling techniques, which have been deployed successfully in other fractured carbonate reservoirs, is described in the Company’s recent IMC presentation available on this link: https://youtu.be/2Ld9AG15xpM
El Romeral, Spain
The new transformer, originally ordered in September 2025, was delivered to site and successfully installed and commissioned during the quarter. This allowed Tarba to return the rental transformer unit to the supplier, reducing monthly fixed opex by c. €14,000. Notably, the transformer cost requires no further contribution from Prospex, as Tarba is expected to fully fund it from internal cash flow.
Gas production and electricity generation have continued at Romeral throughout the quarter against a backdrop of consistently strong electricity prices. As a result, Tarba made a positive net cash contribution for the quarter of £105,000. The Company has assessed El Romeral’s ability to sustain current generation. Based on well and reservoir behaviour, current levels are expected to continue until Q3 2027 with the potential to extend further.
Viura, Spain
During the quarter, operator HEI continued to manage field operations to maximise cash generation, taking advantage of high gas prices. HEI also prepared for an interference and water re-injection test, to validate the reservoir dynamic model and the potential use of the existing Viura 1 ST3 as a produced water disposal well.
After the end of the period HEI began interference and water injection testing at the Viura 1 ST3 well and initial results are encouraging. Establishing sustainable water injection capability at the Viura location would improve reserves recovery, opex and cash generation and Prospex will provide updates on this activity in due course.

Tom Reynolds, Prospex’s CEO, commented:
“I am pleased to provide shareholders with an overview of Q3 2026 activities, including unaudited Group cash-flow figures for the period. During the quarter, we focused on operational delivery at El Romeral, resulting in a cash surplus and advanced detailed development plans at Mniszow in Poland.
“At Selva Malvezzi, PM-1 delivered record production and revenues during the quarter. The new seismic data is feeding into the 2027 drilling and activity plan, which aims to establish additional productive wells within the concession. In the meantime, the PM1 well will be carefully managed to optimise its continuing contribution.
“Ending the quarter with a strong cash balance of over £1.5 million provides the Prospex with sufficient cash to progress assets in the near term. Consistent with previous guidance, I expect medium-term capital needs to be met by introducing partnership capital at the asset level where the Company has engaged with a number of interested counterparties. This will allow us to add value to our assets through discovery, de-risking and development, maximising value for existing shareholders.”

About Prospex Energy
Prospex Energy plc is an AIM-quoted investing company focused on high-impact onshore and shallow offshore European opportunities with short timelines to production. The Company's strategy is to acquire undervalued projects with multiple, tangible value trigger points that can be realised within 12 months of acquisition and then apply low-cost re-evaluation techniques to identify and de-risk prospects. The Company will rapidly scale up gas production in the short term to generate internal revenue, which can then be deployed to develop the asset base and further increase production.
