Amplify Energy Corp Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Amplify Energy Corp. (NYSE: AMPY) is an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, development, exploitation, and production of oil and natural gas properties in the United States. Following a series of strategic divestitures completed in late 2025—which included exiting its interests in East Texas, North Louisiana, Oklahoma, and non-operated Eagle Ford assets—the company has streamlined its operations to focus on two core, high-upside assets: the Beta field located in federal waters offshore Southern California, and the Bairoil properties in Wyoming. This portfolio simplification has transformed Amplify into a leaner, oil-weighted producer.

Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Streamlining the asset portfolio to focus exclusively on high-margin, low-decline, oil-weighted assets by divesting non-core natural gas properties.
Expected impact: Complete exit from East Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Magnify, shifting the production profile to 100% crude oil and significantly reducing corporate overhead.
Focused development drilling and recompletion program targeting highly economic drilling opportunities in the Beta field offshore Southern California.
Expected impact: Accelerates production growth from high-permeability reservoirs with low break-evens, quick payback periods, and IRRs exceeding 100%.
Implementing cost-saving measures at the Bairoil asset, including a new CO2 purchase contract and compression optimization, while evaluating carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) opportunities.
Expected impact: Generates annualized lease operating expense savings of approximately $10.0 million. Positions Bairoil to leverage its pore space for Section 45Q tax credits and large-scale carbon storage.
