Battalion Oil Corporation announced record operating results, including completing midstream projects ahead of schedule and under budget, which has led to a 20.3% increase in production throughput. The company's most recently drilled well pad achieved record oil and equivalent production on a per-lateral-foot basis, confirming significant inventory in the asset area.

Why it matters

Battalion's operational success and increased midstream capacity have allowed the company to boost production and sales during a period of strong commodity prices, strengthening its financial position. The record well results also indicate the company has significant untapped potential in its asset base.

The details

Battalion recently completed multiple midstream projects in the Monument Draw area ahead of schedule and approximately 8% under budgeted costs. This has allowed the company's midstream partner to complete additional facility upgrades, increasing capacity across the entire asset area. As a result, average gas flowrates have increased by more than 20%. The company's most recent 20-day average production from its latest well pad was 1,568 barrels of oil equivalent per day per well, the highest production on a per lateral foot basis in Battalion's history.

  • Battalion completed the midstream projects ahead of schedule in the first quarter of 2026.
  • The company's most recently drilled well pad achieved record production in the first quarter of 2026.
