Company schedules earnings conference call to announce third quarter 2026 results
HOUSTON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Talos Energy Inc. (“Talos” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TALO) today announced the closing of its previously announced acquisition of certain deepwater assets in the Gulf of America from Shell Offshore Inc. (“Shell”), alongside an affiliate of Ridgewood Energy Corporation. The transaction includes a 50% working interest and operatorship in the Coulomb field and a 25% non-operated working interest in the BP-operated Na Kika platform and four associated fields (the “Acquisition”). The final net cash purchase price at closing was $420 million, which includes the previously escrowed $42.5 million deposit, and is subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
Talos President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Goodfellow commented, “The closing of this transaction marks another important step in executing our strategy to build a long-lived, scaled portfolio and become the leading pure-play offshore E&P. These high-quality, oil-weighted assets immediately enhance our scale, increase free cash flow generation, improve our margins, and provide infrastructure-led growth opportunities that leverage our core strengths in the Gulf of America.”
Third quarter 2026 results will include contributions from the acquired assets from the closing date through quarter-end, with the acquired assets fully consolidated beginning in the fourth quarter of 2026.
