Brent falls back to the 75 dollars a barrel Vista itself published as its downside scenario, and the tie-in programme delivers the bottom of the 100-110 range while VMOS slips past mid-2027. The wells are still drilled, so volume still grows; the realised price and the margin do not. Vista's own elasticity says a 10 dollar shortfall costs about 200 million dollars of Adjusted EBITDA in a half-year, roughly 400 million annualised against a 3.0 billion dollar 2026 guide.

One and a half tenths of a percent of revenue: 1.9 million dollars on 710 boe/d at 406 dollars a tonne in Q2 2026. It is a processing byproduct of the conventional assets and of gas treatment, reported on the income statement as revenues from LPG sales and in the operating tables as NGL. It is carried as its own line only because Vista reports it as one, and it will never move the valuation.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • A growth driver rather than a capacity one, because no operational driver can be evidenced: volume swung between 139 and 784 boe/d across the last nine quarters with no relation to the drilling programme, and Vista sets no target for it.
  • Two percent a quarter fading toward one is a loose track of the oil programme, not a company figure. On a line worth 0.15% of revenue, the difference between any two plausible rates is smaller than the rounding on the crude line.
  • The conventional assets that feed most of this volume are operated by Tango under a transfer agreement, and Vista's entitlement was already renegotiated once, in September 2025, so the line is structurally in run-off even as the shale grows.
