Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) focuses on maximizing returns from its existing asset base through intensive development, which is the core of Market Penetration on the Ansoff Matrix.

Accelerate infill drilling in core Cardium and Viking assets

The development program in the second half of 2025 targeted existing core areas. During the third quarter of 2025, Obsidian Energy Ltd. rig-released a total of 16 (16.0 net) wells. This activity included 14 (14.0 net) wells in the Dawson Clearwater field and 2 (2.0 net) wells in the HVS Bluesky field. The company brought 14 (14.0 net) wells on production during the quarter. Specifically, the 2 (2.0 net) wells on the 14-07 pad in HVS (Bluesky) reported an average 30-day initial production (IP30) rate of 385 boe/d per well, with production being 100% oil.

For the second half of 2025, capital expenditures planned for Light Oil assets totaled $52 million, supporting average production of approximately 14,200 boe/d. This included development and exploration/appraisal drilling in the Cardium formation, alongside continued participation in a non-operated Pembina Cardium Unit #11 drilling program. The company also reported drilling the first horizontal Belly River well in the Crimson field as part of its Light Oil asset highlights.

Implement enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects to boost recovery factors

Obsidian Energy Ltd. has initiated pilot projects to enhance recovery. The company reported the commencement of water injection on pilots in both the Bluesky and Clearwater formations at Peace River. This aligns with the strategy to increase recovery factors from existing reservoirs.

Reduce operating costs per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) to increase netbacks

Cost control is a critical lever for immediate netback improvement. Net operating costs in the third quarter of 2025 were $15.01 per boe, which was higher than the $13.74 per boe reported in 2024. This increase was attributed to higher trucking costs and processing fees related to expanded Peace River activities. The company expects a reduction in Q4 2025, targeting approximately CAD$14 (US$9.93) per boe. The midpoint of the updated 2H 2025 guidance for net operating costs was set at CAD$14.48 (US$10.27) per BOE.

The focus on cost reduction is supported by planned infrastructure improvements:

• Anticipate reduced trucking expenses in Peace River from additional water disposal capabilities.
• General and administrative (G&A) costs were $1.95 per boe in Q3 2025.
• G&A costs were $1.92 per boe in Q2 2025.
• G&A costs were $1.61 per boe in Q1 2025.

Optimize existing pipeline capacity to maximize realized crude prices

Infrastructure optimization is underway to improve realized pricing by reducing transportation costs and accessing better markets. The planned extension of infrastructure to the Open Creek field is intended to bring approximately 200 barrels per day of currently shut-in oil back on production. Furthermore, building an all-season road to the Nampa field will enable the pursuit of a full field development plan.

Increase working interest in current producing properties via small acquisitions

Obsidian Energy Ltd. made minor adjustments to its working interests during the period. The reported net property acquisitions (dispositions) for the third quarter of 2025 amounted to $0.3 million. This contrasts with the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which showed a net disposition of ($210.6 million), primarily due to the closing of the Pembina asset disposition in April 2025.

Key Operational and Financial Metrics for Market Penetration Focus (Q3 2025):

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

Market development for Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) centers on extending the reach of its current core products-primarily light and heavy oil, with associated natural gas-into new geographic or customer segments. This strategy relies on the established production base and the inventory of undeveloped land positions.

The current production profile, as reported for the third quarter of 2025, provides the baseline for any market expansion efforts. Total production averaged 27,316 boe/d, with the company increasing its second half of 2025 production guidance to a range of 27,800 - 28,300 boe/d. Funds flow from operations for Q3 2025 reached $49.7 million, supporting capital deployment for growth initiatives.

The breakdown of this production mix is critical for understanding the commodity focus when targeting new markets:

Regarding securing new long-term sales contracts with US Gulf Coast refineries or exploring exporting natural gas to new international liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets, specific contract values or volumes for 2025 are not publicly detailed. However, the existing natural gas production of 47 mmcf/d in Q3 2025 represents the current supply available for such market development efforts.

Targeting new industrial end-users for natural gas in Eastern Canada would leverage this existing gas stream. The company's focus in 2025 has been heavily weighted toward oil development in Peace River, which saw 14 (14.0 net) wells brought on production in Q3 2025, with initial production rates on some Clearwater wells reaching up to 316 boe/d per well.

The strategy to acquire undeveloped land adjacent to current core areas for future expansion is supported by recent activity. Following a 2024 acquisition, Obsidian Energy holds an expanded position in the Peace River area, which includes 148 net sections of land. On these lands, the company has identified approximately 200 total locations, with 103 locations (including 49 proved plus probable locations) being on trend with their successful Clearwater Dawson development.

Establishing a presence in a new, low-risk Canadian basin is evidenced by activity outside the Peace River core. Obsidian Energy is actively developing its light oil assets, including drilling the first horizontal Belly River well in the Crimson field as part of its H2 2025 capital program. Furthermore, the company expects to return to development in the Willesden Green area in the second half of 2025 with a one-rig operated program, targeting Cardium, Belly River, and Mannville formations.

The financial strength underpinning this market development is visible through balance sheet management. Net debt stood at $219.3 million as of September 30, 2025, a significant reduction from $413.6 million at the end of 2024, partially due to the application of cash proceeds from asset dispositions against bank debt. The company also completed its current Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) by August 2025, having repurchased and cancelled approximately 7.1 million shares since March 2025.

• Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, totaled $233.9 million.
• For Q4 2025, the planned capital program is between $55 - $60 million, weighted towards Peace River development.
• The company disposed of InPlay shares in August 2025 for $91 million, which was applied to debt reduction.

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at the specific actions Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) is taking to develop new product streams or improve existing ones, which maps directly to the Product Development quadrant of the Ansoff Matrix. Here are the hard numbers related to those initiatives based on the latest available 2025 data.

Invest in facilities to extract higher-value natural gas liquids (NGLs) from current gas streams.

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) reported NGL Production of 1,955 bbl/d for the three months ended September 30, 2025, down from 3,148 bbl/d for the same period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, NGL Production was 2,401 bbl/d, compared to 3,043 bbl/d a year ago. Natural gas production for Q3 2025 was 47 mmcf/d. The company's net operating costs in Q3 2025 were CAD$15.01 (US$10.65) per BOE, with an expectation that costs will decrease in Q4 2025 to approximately CAD$14 per BOE.

Develop a low-carbon crude oil product through certified operational efficiency.

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) had a stated Methane Emission Reduction Target of 45% by 2025, based on 2023 figures. The company's Q3 2025 total production averaged 27,316 boe/d, with liquids making up 71% of that total.

Pilot a new drilling and completion technique for the emerging Clearwater play.

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) is actively piloting waterflood techniques in the Clearwater formation. The company commenced its first Clearwater waterflood pilot project in the Dawson field, with water injection planned for the third quarter of 2025.

• H1 2025 drilling for the pilot included three (3 net) producer and two (2 net) single leg injector wells at the Dawson 4-24 Pad.
• In the second half of 2025, Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) rig released 11 (11.0 net) Clearwater wells.
• During Q3 2025, 14 (14.0 net) wells in the Dawson Clearwater field were brought on production.
• Follow-up wells on the Dawson 4-24 Pad achieved an average IP30 of 316 boe/d (100% oil) per well.
• The first two wells on the Dawson 13-23 Pad achieved an average IP30 per well of 298 boe/d (100% heavy oil).

Monetize CO2 emissions by developing carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure.

The most recent specific financial data point related to carbon capture investment was in 2023, when Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) reported a $12.5 million investment in Carbon Capture. The company's updated 2025 guidance assumes commodity prices including WTI at US$60.00/bbl for the remainder of the year.

Repurpose marginal gas wells for geothermal energy production pilots.

Specific financial or statistical data regarding the repurposing of marginal gas wells for geothermal energy production pilots by Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) in 2025 was not present in the latest operational updates.

Here's a quick look at the key 2025 operational metrics as of the third quarter:

The H2 2025 capital plan allocates $62 million to Peace River and $52 million to Willesden Green activities, supporting an expected average production of approximately 14,200 boe/d from Light Oil assets for the second half. The company revised its year-end 2025 Net Debt guidance to $213 million.

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Obsidian Energy Ltd. could move beyond its core oil and gas business in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, which is a classic Diversification move on the Ansoff Matrix. This means new products in new markets, which carries the highest inherent risk but also the highest potential reward.

Acquire a utility-scale solar or wind power generation project in Alberta

Moving into power generation in Alberta leverages existing provincial deregulation, which allows for direct power purchase agreements. Rystad Energy forecasts suggest Alberta could have 1.8 GW of solar capacity and 6.5 GW of wind capacity by 2025, making it a growing market. For scale, the Travers Solar project, led by Greengate Power, is a $750 million undertaking designed to generate about 800 million kWh annually. Obsidian Energy Ltd. finished Q3 2025 with $219.3 million in Net Debt. Any such acquisition would require significant capital deployment outside of its current development budget, which saw $65.3 million in capital expenditures in Q3 2025.

Enter the midstream sector by building and operating a small pipeline or processing facility

This involves leveraging existing natural gas production streams for midstream integration. While Obsidian Energy Ltd.'s Q3 2025 natural gas production was relatively small at 56 mmcf/d for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the broader context shows the scale of midstream investment. For comparison, major pipeline projects like the Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project were valued at $14.5B, and the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion was $34.0B. A small facility would be a fraction of this, but still likely require capital exceeding the $49.7 million in Funds Flow from Operations generated in Q3 2025.

Invest in a non-hydrocarbon mineral resource project, like lithium brine extraction

Diversifying into critical minerals like lithium aligns with global energy transition themes. Lithium brine operations typically have lower operating costs, estimated between $4,000-$6,000/mt LCE (Lithium Carbonate Equivalent). However, they demand high capital intensity, with estimates around $15,000-$20,000/mt of annual capacity. To put that capital need into perspective, one large-scale project aims for a total CAPEX of $12.4 billion across five phases for 160,000 t/y of lithium carbonate production. Obsidian Energy Ltd.'s Net Debt stood at $219.3 million as of September 30, 2025, down from $411.7 million at the end of 2024.

Purchase producing oil and gas assets in a stable, non-Canadian jurisdiction

This is a geographical diversification play within the existing core business. Obsidian Energy Ltd. recently executed a disposition, selling its Pembina assets for $210.9 million in cash proceeds in April 2025, which was used to reduce debt. Any acquisition would need to be evaluated against the company's current production profile, which was 27,316 boe/d in Q3 2025. The company's Q3 2025 Net Operating Costs were $15.01 per boe, which it expects to fall to approximately CAD$14 per boe in Q4 2025.

Form a joint venture to develop hydrogen production from natural gas (blue hydrogen)

Blue hydrogen production, utilizing natural gas with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCUS), has a cost range of $2.8-$3.5 per kg. In the US, partnerships targeting CCUS for natural gas plants aim to achieve costs as low as $2.50/kg. The economics are heavily tied to feedstock; natural gas typically accounts for 50-65% of the total production cost. Obsidian Energy Ltd. generated $136.8 million in revenue in Q3 2025. A joint venture would require capital commitment, which must be weighed against the $8.7 million spent on share buybacks in Q3 2025.

The company is actively managing its balance sheet, having reduced Net Debt from $411.7 million at the end of 2024 to $219.3 million by September 30, 2025, largely through the $210.9 million disposition of Pembina assets.

• Q3 2025 Net Income was $16.8 million.
• Share buybacks in Q3 2025 totaled $8.7 million.
• Since March 2025, Obsidian Energy Ltd. cancelled approximately 7.1 million shares under its NCIB.
• Lithium Brine OPEX is estimated lower than hard-rock mining's $6,000-$9,000/mt LCE.
