Question · Q4 2025
Milene Carvalho questioned the operational side, specifically asking for more details on the efficiency measures supporting the record low lifting costs reported in Q4, beyond production growth dilution, and the expected trend for lifting costs in coming quarters, especially for 2026.
Answer
Miguel Galuccio, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Vista Energy, attributed the Q4 lifting cost of $4.1 per BOE to well service savings and fixed cost dilution from increased production. He stated that the 2026 guidance for lifting costs is $4.4 per BOE, a 2% reduction from 2025. He cautioned that Q1 2026 might see a sequential increase due to typical year-start cost movements and one-off maintenance projects.
