The Frontera-CGX group could become the next oil consortium to advance an oil exploration project in Guyana to development after an Exxon Mobil-led (XOM.N) group did so.
Frontera on Thursday said the joint venture was "excited by the definitive presence of oil in the Maastrichtian and Campanian, and the presence of hydrocarbons in the Santonian" areas of its exploration territory.
"We believe there is significant potential in the block," it said, adding that the presence of light oil had been detected.
Frontera posted net income of $80.2 million in the second quarter, compared with a loss of $11.3 million or in the prior quarter and net of $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, the firm said on Thursday.
Capital expenditures rose to $154.9 million in the reported period -of which almost $73 million were related to Guyana-, from $131.5 million in the prior quarter.
