Happy finding for Lucan's firm6 Mar 2020 09:40
Times, p49, insert in Market report:
An oil and gas company run by Lord Lucan, ... was given a welcome boost from a gasfield formerly owned by Gazprom, one of the world's largest gas producers.
Angus Energy, whose managing director is George Lucan, ... said that its 51% stake in the Saltfleetby field in Lincolnshire is worth about £25m, according to a 3rd-party analysis of the asset. That is the base case; Saltfleetby could be worth £35m to Angus if everything falls in its favour - a big deal for a company with a market capitalisation of £5.4m.
Oilfield International, which produced the CPR, estimates there is 16bn cubic feet of gas underfoot at the project as well as 97,000 barrels of condensate.
Angus will probably have to spend about £1.5m, which would allow it to start producing gas this year. That would also fund the drilling of another well in 2012.
Gazprom, through its Wingas subsidiary, gave Angus a 51% stake in the field last year and contributed £2.5m towards the cost of reconnecting the project to the National Gas Grid. The shares rose 0.1p, or 11.8%, to just under 1p.
