Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The Belly River acquisition expands the liquid-rich core and adds scale, while debt has been managed with a larger revolver and new notes to support a higher capex program. AFFO/FFO growth improves cash flow visibility, which could support multiple expansion if assets perform in line with guidance; near-term catalysts include H2 2026 rig activity and production ramp.

Obsidian Energy reported a solid Q2 2026 with AFFO of $73.6 million on 28,200 boe/d and closed the Belly River acquisition, adding roughly 2,500 boe/d (76% liquids). The company boosted liquidity via a $275 million credit facility and a $75 million notes issuance, supporting a 100 million development plan in H2 2026 across two rigs in Peace River and one in Willesden Green.
