Based on this independent report undertaken by an industry leading consultancy, Solo now holds net resources of approximately 467 bcf Pmean GIIP, resulting in excess of 190 bcf (over 30 million barrels oil equivalent ("mmboe")) of most likely contingent resources net to its 25% interest.
Neil Ritson, Solo's Executive Chairman, commented:
"A further significant and material resource upgrade made independently by RPS supports the Company's view that Ntorya is a major gas field within the regional market, thereby underpinning our development plans. The independent verification of our net interest equivalent to over 30 mmboe underlines the significant value of Ntorya within our portfolio. When taken with the results of the io consulting commercial feasibility study, we are now confident that Ntorya can be economically produced with limited further major capital expenditure. This gives us line of sight to additional revenues and strengthens our ability to monetise our interest at the appropriate time. We now look forward to the confirmation that a rig has been secured for the drilling of appraisal well Ntorya-3, and to continued progress on the award of a 25-year development licence for the field."
