Italian acquisition update

Cabot Energy (AIM:CAB), the AIM quoted oil and gas company focused on production led growth balanced with high impact exploration and appraisal opportunities, notes the operational update from Rockhopper which includes the following information regarding the Civita pipeline.

"At the Civita gas field (Rockhopper 100% working interest), production during 2017 averaged approximately 130 boepd. However, in early February, a depressurisation event occurred at the Civita pipeline and as a result production is temporarily suspended. Work has commenced to remedy the issue and resume production. Rockhopper and Cabot Energy continue to work towards the completion of the previously announced transaction to divest certain non-core onshore assets in Italy, including Civita, to Cabot Energy."

A further announcement regarding Civita will be made in due course.
