Battalion Oil climbs on new gas-treating deal boosting operations
Battalion Oil (BATL) jumped after announcing a new gas-treating agreement with a large-cap midstream partner. The deal lets Battalion process all gas from its Monument Draw Field, boosts flow reliability, and has helped lift January oil production to about 1,200 net barrels per day versus December. Pre-market trading surged with heavy volume, though Wall Street coverage remains sparse and an AI analyst assigns a neutral $1.50 price target due to weaker profitability and balance-sheet risks.
