Samuel Moody, CEO, commented:
"We are delighted to welcome Navitas to the North Falkland Basin
as Operator of the Sea Lion development and wider acreage with all
of its associated upside. We also thank both the Falkland Islands
Government and Harbour for their work on this Transaction and look
forward to working with Navitas to bring Sea Lion to fruition.
Sea Lion alone is capable of producing at over 120,000 barrels
of oil per day with significant upside.
The proven oil and gas in the Falklands has the potential to
form a material part of wider UK energy supply in a relatively
short time frame, bringing with it huge potential security of
supply and financial benefits for all stakeholders."
