The Lancaster field continues to produce from the 205/21a-6 well alone, with the 19th cargo of Lancaster oil was lifted at the end of December 2020.
Antony Maris, Hurricane Energy’s EO, commented: “Production in line with expectations, a December lifting from Lancaster, and higher oil prices combined to deliver a $19 million increase in net free cash at year-end compared to end November 2020. A continued recovery in oil prices would further enhance the significant value we see in our West of Shetland portfolio.
Adding:
“As previously reported, we are currently engaging with our stakeholders on a proposed development plan for Lancaster and its associated funding in order to maximise the potential value of our assets.”
Hurricane Energy share price
