The UK-based oil and gas company reports pretax loss of USD571.1 million for 2020, widening dramatically from USD1.8 million in 2019. Chunky loss due to impairment charges of USD567.1 million in respect of the Lancaster field and the company's exploration assets.

"As at the date of this report, more than 75% of bondholders (by value) had acceded to a lock-up agreement which incorporates general undertakings to support the proposed financial restructuring," it says.
