Steve Brown, Orcadian's CEO, commented:
"We are delighted to have reached this agreement, which sets out a potential pathway to production for the Company's Pilot field.
"The Pilot field has a substantial proven reserve base with material upside potential in the surrounding area. We are delighted this transaction could enable Orcadian to retain a significant interest in the project and to enjoy the long-term benefits of producing oil for the UK.
"Developing energy in our own backyard contributes to the UK's Energy Security and balance of payments; delivers long-term high-quality jobs; and minimises emissions associated with satisfying the UK's need for energy.
"We look forward to progressing the next stages of this proposed transaction and providing further updates."
