Description: TALO Talos Energy November 13, 2025

Talos Energy Inc. (NYSE:TALO) is an independent upstream company that explores and produces crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids across onshore assets in the United States and Mexico, while also developing carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. Founded in 2011 and based in Houston, Texas, Talos operates under a common-stock structure within the GICS sub-industry of Oil & Gas Exploration & Production.

Key operational metrics as of the latest 2023 annual report show approximately 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d) of net production, with proven reserves of roughly 350 MMBOE, of which about 30% are offshore Mexico assets. The company’s capital expenditure for 2023 was $750 million, funded primarily through a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility, leaving net debt at $2.1 billion (Debt/EBITDA ≈ 2.5×). Talos’s earnings are highly sensitive to WTI crude prices and to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy on inflation, which influences energy demand and financing costs; a 10% rise in WTI typically lifts adjusted EBITDA by ~15% in the short term.
