Chairman and Chief Executive’s Statement:
My last statement focused on our UCG aspirations in the UK and our aim to unlock the vast energy potential of the country’s un-mined offshore coal resources. We have been making significant progress in this regard, however in light of the anticipated timing for the planning approval process for UCG operations in the UK, I stressed our complementary ambition to secure conventional offshore oil and gas licences. To that end we successfully applied for various blocks in the 28th Round of Offshore Licensing in April 2014 in the Southern North Sea gas basin and in December 2014 we were formally awarded eleven blocks contained within five licences. We are consequently focusing on these conventional licences for nearer-term value generation as we look to develop this company into an integrated oil and gas investment company
