Parex Resources社、Ecopetrol社のコロンビア鉱区2区画の株式50%取得のため、2億5000万ドルの資金を提供へ

By

-- カナダを拠点とするパレックス・リソーシズと戦略的パートナーのエコペトロル(EC)は、パレックスがコロンビアのマгдаレナ盆地にあるカサベ鉱区とジャニート鉱区の権益50%を取得する契約を締結した。パレックスは、エコペトロルに対し5年間で2億5000万ドルの設備投資を行う。パレックスは月曜日にこの契約を発表した。 両鉱区は合わせて中質原油を1万4900バレル生産しており、推定埋蔵量は300万バレル以上、平均回収率は15%未満である。 コロンビアに重点を置くパレックスは、規制当局の承認が得られ次第、契約で定められた2億5000万ドルの設備投資を行う。うち1億2500万ドルは運転資金となる。パレックスは声明の中で、規制当局の承認が得られ次第、この2億5000万ドルを投資すると述べた。 パレックスの基本生産権益は、各鉱区で最初の井戸の掘削が開始された時点から発生する。掘削開始は今年後半を予定している。パレックスは今後の掘削および設備投資活動の実施主体となり、エコペトロルは現在および将来の生産における操業主体となる。 優先的な開発作業は、追加掘削、水攻法最適化、および原油増産(EOR)イニシアチブであり、これらはパレックス社がリャノス盆地とマグダレナ盆地で実績を上げてきた分野です。 パレックス社は、プロジェクトの50%の権益を取得し、確約資本を提供する第1フェーズの完了後、以降のすべての資本は50:50の割合で共有される、とパレックス社の声明は述べています。 パレックス社は、これらの油田は成熟油田であり、最近再処理された3D地震探査データは生産量増加への道筋を示していると説明しています。また、これらの油田は水平掘削の可能性も秘めている、と声明は述べています。 同社は、ネットバックを最大化するために、エコペトロル社のバランカベルメハ製油所への直接パイプライン接続が既に存在すると述べています。

Research Alert: Ingr: Tough Start To Year As Operational Disruptions Continue; Guidance Cut

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:INGR delivered disappointing Q1 results with adj. EPS of $2.34 (-21% Y/Y), missing consensus by $0.13, while net sales declined 1% to $1,792M, in line with expectations. Adj. operating income dropped 22% to $212M, with the Food & Industrial Ingredients - U.S./CAN segment particularly weak as operating income plunged 63% to $34M due to ongoing Argo facility disruptions. The company cut its 2026 outlook, now expecting adj. EPS of $10.45-$11.15 (from $11.00-$11.80) and net sales flat to up low single digits. Management indicated the Argo facility recovery has taken longer than expected following the 2025 thermal event, with sequential improvement anticipated in Q2 2026 and a return to normal operations targeted for H2 2026. We are disappointed with the results as our expectation was that the Argo facility issues would have been resolved by now, though we expect gradual improvement as operational challenges normalize in the second half.

Research Alert: It: Growth Metrics Fight Off Deceleration But Remain Stuck; Margins Impress

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:IT reported Q1 2026 sales of $1.51B (-1.5% Y/Y, -4.3% ex-FX), near consensus of $1.52B, with Insights (87% of total) flat Y/Y to continue a deceleration from +1% in Q4 and +4% in Q3. Non-GAAP EPS of $3.32 (+11%) beat Street estimates of $2.92, helped by Insights contribution margin expanding 110 bps Q/Q to 78.2% and strong buyback activity of $535M. Global CV growth remains stuck, growing by just 1.0% Y/Y to $5.3B, but these results improved from 0.8% in Q4, reversing a multi-quarter deceleration. We expect CV growth to improve from here on AskGartner momentum. Wallet retention of 77.7% (+20 bps Q/Q, -530 bps Y/Y) and Client retention of 85.0% (-30 bps Q/Q, +60 bps Y/Y) were largely unchanged Q/Q. FY 26 sales guidance was revised from >$6.455B to >$6.405B (-1% Y/Y), with Q1's weak Consulting results (-17%) contributing the entirety of the reduction, which may spook investors worried about AI competition. Still, IT raised its EPS forecast to >$13.25 (flat Y/Y) from >$12.30 prior, providing decent support.
