The demand for Talos Energy's primary products, oil and natural gas, is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Winter months typically see a surge in demand for heating oil and natural gas, while summer often sees a rise in gasoline demand due to increased travel. Oil production in the Gulf of Mexico is also influenced by seasonality due to hurricane season and regular maintenance schedules on offshore platforms and infrastructure.
