Beach Energy (ASX:BPT) cuts production outlook

[videojs_hls url=’//du7x25at22z7c.cloudfront.net/275207/index_HLSv3.m3u8′ poster=’http://www.finnewsnetwork.com.au/newssystem/Headlines04_360_200211.jpg’]

Beach Energy (ASX:BPT) has reduced its annual production guidance due to weak demand with a 2 per cent fall in underlying NPAT to $273.5 million.

Production guidance has been updated to 27 – 28 one million barrels of oil equivalent when the previous guidance was 27 – 29 MMboe.

Sales revenue was lower primarily driven by a 40 per cent reduction in Victorian Otway working interest to 60 per cent through H1 FY20 (H1 FY19 100%) as a result of the farm-down to O.G Energy which completed in H2 FY19.

The company also had a month long closure for maintenance at the Kupe gas plant in New Zealand.

Shares in Beach Energy (ASX:BPT) are trading 2.32 per cent lower at $2.31.
