FINANCIAL RESULTS & SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2013
TARGETS 2014
Ben Arabo, CEO, commented:
“We increased our reserves base through the completion of the acquisition of Orlando and Kells fields. We also increased our prospective resources base significantly through adding new high quality exploration acreage in Norway and the UK. Our exploration programme will deliver a steady flow of potentially large value triggers to our shareholders in 2014 and beyond. We have built up our portfolio over the past years and we can now see these prospects coming through to be drilled. We are confident that we can deliver exploration success over the next two years with the portfolio we have built whilst also maintaining our production base. We are always looking for opportunities to expand and will also do so in 2014 including looking at production opportunities.”
