About Hurricane
Hurricane was established to discover, appraise and develop
hydrocarbon resources associated with naturally fractured basement
reservoirs. The Company's acreage is concentrated on the Rona
Ridge, in the West of Shetland region of the UK Continental
Shelf.
The Lancaster field (100% owned by Hurricane) is the UK's first
producing basement field. Hurricane is pursuing a phased
development of Lancaster, starting with an Early Production System
consisting of two wells tied-back to the Aoka Mizu FPSO.
Hydrocarbons were introduced to the FPSO system on 11 May 2019 and
the first oil milestone was achieved on 4 June 2019.
In September 2018, Spirit Energy farmed-in to 50% of the Lincoln
and Warwick assets, committing to a phased work programme targeting
sanction of an initial stage of full field development.
