Gulf Keystone Petroleum has put its 2026 production forecast under review and suspended financial guidance, citing security concerns linked to the Iran conflict. The move reduces visibility on 2026 volumes and cash flow from its Iraqi assets and is likely to cause near-term share volatility and raise operational risk for the company.
