Epsilon Energy Reports Q2 Loss Amid Production Decline
Epsilon Energy Ltd., an operator/non-operator hybrid in the energy sector, released its second-quarter 2026 financial and operating results. The company reported a net loss of $815 million in the quarter, with adjusted net income per share standing at -$0.03. This represents a significant decline from last year's same period.
Epsilon's production levels also took a hit, with gas production down 16% quarter over quarter and oil production flat compared to Q1 2026. However, the company is optimistic about its future prospects, citing the successful completion of two Niobrara DUCs in the Powder River Basin and the participation in the drilling of five wells in the Marcellus.
The company's CEO, Jason Stabell, stated that Epsilon has undergone a significant transformation over the past eight months, expanding from a non-operator to a diversified operator/non-operator hybrid with development activities spanning multiple basins. He expressed confidence in the company's ability to deliver against its objectives and provide production and capital expenditure guidance for the first time.
Epsilon provided guidance for Q3 2026, estimating total production of 3,270-3,510 MMcfe, oil production of 155-165 MBbl, and capital expenditures of $24.0-$28.5 million. For FY 2026, the company expects total production to reach 13,740-14,280 MMcfe, oil production to increase to 640-670 MBbl, and capital expenditures to be in the range of $42.0-$47.0 million.
