RE: THERE IS OIL IN THEM FIELDS 😊26 Mar 2026 15:52
Pennpetro Energy PLC - London-based developer of "strategic traditional and transition energy projects" in Ukraine, US and Canada - Decides to resume production at one of four wells in Texas, known as the Chalk Talk A-1H well, "subject to necessary administrative and protective processes". Aims to generate near-term revenue as a result, and in parallel with the development of other projects. Chair Richard Spinks explains: "Our interests in Texas do not divert attention away from Ukraine, or other opportunities we are exploring but with the strong oil price currently, we felt this decision was in the best interests of the company." Should production at the Texas well resume, Pennpetro expects a partial or full reversal of the impairment loss previously reported for this asset. Expects work towards production to start "within a matter of weeks", with the asset becoming operationally shortly afterwards, subject to any time required to renegotiate the lease, which former management had allowed to lapse. Adds that it has secured funding for this work with RMD Group, and that: "This move is intended to transform the company into a cash-generative business while current global geopolitical landscape creates opportunity for higher returns on production." Says it is targeting "the Limnytska license in western Ukraine as the prime, large-scale asset for acquisition, whilst also evaluating other Western Ukraine licenses to leverage proximity synergies and near-term production." Also continues due diligence on further opportunities in the US and Canada.
