Results benefited from higher realized crude prices in the United States and Canada, lower Gulf of America workover and handling costs, and favorable foreign‑exchange movements, partly offset by higher exploration expense, income taxes, and a larger joint venture settlement provision. Q2 production averaged 175,013 BOE per day including noncontrolling interest, an 11% decrease driven mainly by planned and unplanned Gulf of America downtime, partly offset by new Eagle Ford and Kaybob wells and higher Terra Nova and Hibernia volumes.
For the first half of 2026, net cash provided by continuing operations was $977,093 (thousands), supporting $866,159 (thousands) of property additions and dry hole costs and a $500,000 (thousands) senior notes issuance used to redeem 2027 and 2028 notes. Murphy ended June 30 with $483,875 (thousands) of cash, $1,547,864 (thousands) of long‑term debt, an undrawn $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, and continued progress on offshore projects and exploration discoveries in Côte d’Ivoire, Vietnam and the Gulf of America.
Murphy Oil Corporation reported strong second-quarter 2026 results, with net income attributable to Murphy of $232.2 million, or $1.59 diluted EPS, compared with $22.3 million a year earlier. Adjusted net income was $225.8 million and adjusted EBITDA was $592.7 million. Net cash provided by continuing operations was $655.9 million, free cash flow was $110.0 million, and total net production excluding noncontrolling interest averaged 168,995 BOEPD, at the upper end of guidance, including 85,265 BOPD.

Second-quarter capital expenditures attributable to Murphy were $476.0 million. Full-year 2026 capital expenditure guidance midpoint increased from $1.25 billion to $1.55 billion, driven by roughly $190 million for the Bubale discovery appraisal in Côte d’Ivoire, $70 million of additional Eagle Ford Shale investment, and about $40 million of higher Chinook #8 drilling costs.
Operationally, Murphy announced an oil discovery at Bubale-1X offshore Côte d’Ivoire with 100 feet of net oil pay and began an appraisal program that may include up to five wells. In Vietnam, the Hai Su Vang appraisal program concluded with mixed well results and an updated gross recoverable resource estimate of 200 to 300 million BOE, with a targeted final investment decision by the fourth quarter of 2027. The Lac Da Vang development advanced with pipeline installation and launch of the Floating Storage and Offloading vessel, and the Chinook #8 development well in the Gulf of America is expected online in the fourth quarter of 2026 with a gross initial production rate of approximately 15 MBOEPD. Guidance for 2026 calls for total net production excluding noncontrolling interest of 167,000 to 175,000 BOEPD, capital expenditures of $1,500 to $1,600 million, and exploration expense of $300 million, including assumed dry hole costs.
