As other firms like Shell are reported to be speculating a move outside of the UK, Harbour Energy was asked whether it would shift its listing off of London to an international market.
Ms Cook said she cannot confirm whether that’s been discussed, but said she sees the attractiveness of an area like the US.
“We’ve seen the recent reports that other UK companies are considering this and I understand you know the rationale for that, given the general difference in valuations.
“The, at least in the oil and gas sector, the more stable fiscal regime in the US and generally supportive investment climate, the incentives for things like CCS (carbon capture and storage), which we’re very active in are quite attractive there.
“So there’s, you know, a long list of reasons why companies might consider it.”
