What are the changes in production volumes (oil, natural gas, liquids) versus guidance and peers?

Answer

The press‑release you referenced only announces that Petrus Resources Ltd. (TSX: PRQ) has published its financial and operating results for the three‑ and six‑month periods ending June 30 2025. It does not include any specific figures on:

• Production volumes for oil, natural gas, or liquids (e.g., barrels of oil per day, MMcf of gas, boe or bbl of liquids)
• Guidance that the company previously gave for those commodities
• Peer‑group production data that would allow a direct comparison with other companies in the sector

Because those details are absent from the excerpt you provided, I cannot give a quantitative “change versus guidance” or “versus peers” analysis.

What you can do next

1. Locate the full press‑release – The complete Q2 2025 results are typically posted on Petrus Resources’ investor relations website or on the GlobeNewswire archive. The full document will list:

   • Actual production numbers for oil, gas, and liquids for the quarter (and possibly year‑to‑date totals).
   • The company’s prior production guidance (e.g., “we expected 30,000 bbl oil d⁻¹; actual was 28,500 bbl d⁻¹”).
   • Any commentary on how those results compare to peer companies or the broader market.

2. Check the Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) section – In the quarterly report (Form 40‑F or similar), Petrus usually provides a “Production Update” that breaks out:

   • Oil: barrels per day (bpd) and cumulative volume.
   • Natural gas: thousand cubic feet per day (Mcf/d) or boe conversion.
   • Liquids: total liquids (oil + condensate) in barrels or boe.

3. Gather peer data – For a “versus peers” comparison, you’ll need production figures from other Canadian‑focused upstream companies (e.g., Cenovus Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Husky Energy, etc.). These are publicly disclosed in their own quarterly earnings releases or on data platforms such as S&P Capital IQ, Bloomberg, or the Canadian Energy Regulator.

4. Calculate the changes – Once you have the numbers:

   • Δ vs. guidance = Actual production – Guided production (expressed in absolute terms and as a percentage).
   • Δ vs. peers = Petrus production – Average peer production (or median) for the same period, again both in absolute and percentage terms.

Example Framework (illustrative only)

*Peer averages would be derived from a set of comparable Canadian upstream producers for the same quarter.

Until the full release is obtained, the numbers above are placeholders to show how you would structure the analysis.

Bottom line

• From the information you posted alone, no production‑volume changes can be identified.
• To answer the question fully, you’ll need the complete earnings release (or the accompanying MD&A) that details actual production, prior guidance, and any peer comparison the company may have provided.
  

If you can share those additional details (or a link to the full report), I’ll be able to compute the exact changes and provide a precise, data‑driven comparison.
