Saturn Oil & Gas Raises 2026 Guidance Amid Increased Production Estimates

Saturn Oil & Gas Inc., a Canadian oil producer focused on Saskatchewan and Alberta assets, has raised its guidance for 2026. The company's updated outlook reflects improved production estimates and increased free funds flow.

The revised capital program allocates $355-$375 million to development projects with short half-cycle payback periods and enhanced capital efficiencies. This represents a significant increase from the original budget of $180-$190 million. Saturn plans to drill 156 wells across three core areas, with over 20% allocated to open hole multi-lateral drilling.

The company's average annual production estimate has been increased by around 10%, targeting between 43,000-44,000 boe/d in 2026, with exit volumes expected to reach 48,000-50,000 boe/d. Saturn also expects a significant increase in adjusted funds flow (AFF) and free funds flow, reaching $535-$570 million and $150-$200 million, respectively.

According to John Jeffrey, Saturn's CEO, the company is 'excited to be expanding our capital program into a constructive oil price environment' and remains committed to growing AFF and free funds flow while preserving financial flexibility.
