Egdon Resources收购20%的额外权益

Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement to acquire an additional 20% interest in Petroleum Exploration and Production Licence PEDL068 from DESS Energy Limited (‘DESS’) bringing our total interest to 68%. Egdon is operator of PEDL068 which is located in the Cleveland Basin of North Yorkshire. This transaction follows DESS’ acquisition of Sterling Resources (UK) Limited’s 47% interest in the licence.

As consideration for this acquisition, Egdon will bear DESS’s retained 20% share of ongoing expenditure for the next six months and in addition will accept liability for DESS’s 20% share of the existing abandonment liability for the Kirkleatham site and Kirkleatham-1 well, but not for any future works. Egdon estimate that this transaction will add approximately 1.75 bcf of Best Estimate Contingent and Prospective Conventional Resources to its portfolio.

Under a separate transaction, DESS has also sold a 5% interest to existing PEDL068 partner Montrose Industries Limited.
