Vulcan Energy Share Rises as Lionheart Drilling Expands and Major Holders Trim Stakes
Published on 11/11/2026 at 19:40 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Vulcan Energy's equity climbed 9.8% to EUR 0.8125 on Thursday, a gain that coincides with a cluster of disclosures covering drilling progress at its Lionheart project and a continued retreat by large institutional investors.
The most recent operational update came in the quarterly report for the period ended 30 September 2026, which flagged that drilling and construction at Lionheart were tracking both schedule and budget. Testing of the seventh well was completed after the quarter closed, the company said. The statement on time and cost discipline applies to the drilling and construction work at Lionheart.
Second rig heads to Trappelberg
Vulcan confirmed on Wednesday that it is mobilising its second company-owned rig, the V10, to the Trappelberg site — the fourth drilling location at Lionheart. The V10 will work alongside the already-deployed V20 as the company pursues its target programme of 28 wells, allowing parallel activity across multiple sites. The announcement covers the rig's relocation, not the completion of further drilling.
Vulcan has invested roughly EUR 51 million in its two rigs, according to its own figures. The company reiterated in the mobilisation notice that Lionheart remains on schedule and within budget.
