Key risks (from latest filing)
["Commodity price volatility: revenues highly sensitive to crude oil and natural gas prices, with current year showing significant revenue decline despite production","Operational disruptions and deferred production: extended FPSO dry dock and maintenance activities reduced Côte d'Ivoire production; field restart delays impact near-term cash generation","Geographic and political concentration: heavy exposure to West African operations (Gabon, Egypt, Côte d'Ivoire) exposes company to regulatory changes, government relations, and political risk in these regions"]
