For almost 30 years Petrel has been an oil explorer. Exploring is a high risk strategy which means we have a high probability of failure. To date we have failed to deliver real value to our investors but we have survived. In that time we have reinvented ourselves to work in three different continents, in Europe, Asia and Africa. Where do we stand now? We have cash, over £4m, expertise, data, skills and live operations. We will continue to work in Iraq, we are hopeful of a successful conclusion in Ghana and exciting prospects are opening up in Ireland. But we are not satisfied. We are examining ways in which we can use all of the assets and expertise in Petrel to revitalise interest in the company. In a time of massive economic uncertainty, Petrel, with cash, is in a good position.
