On Sept. 21, Obsidian Energy OBE-T announced a 3-year growth plan focusing on its Peace River assets. Obsidian hopes to produce 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day (76 per cent liquids) by mid-2026 from 32,937 boe/d (65 per cent liquids) in Q3, 2023. The stock rallied on the news but has since given up those gains as crude oil prices sagged. As the stock traded below $10.50, insiders started buying again. CEO Stephen Loukas bought 2,600 shares at an average price of $10.08 while chairman Gordon Ritchie bought 6,000 shares at $10.01.
