InfraStrata plc (AIM:INFA), the independent petroleum exploration and gas storage company, is pleased to announce its final results for the year ended 31 July 2015.
Overview and highlights
Islandmagee Gas Storage Project – County Antrim
Concluded a grant agreement with European Union’s Connecting Europe Facility for €2.5million (£1.9m) being 50% of the cost of a £3.8 million salt core programme of work comprising the drilling of a well to obtain salt cores and subsequent testing and engineering work.
Salt core programme was completed on time and within budget and reporting back to the European Commission is imminent.
Feasibility phase of project has now addressed all key technical risks and InfraStrata will now progress the monetisation of the de-risked project in early 2016.
European Union grant was available by virtue of the projects designation as a Project of Common Interest (“PCI”) which was renewed for a further two years in November 2015 – the only gas storage project in NW Europe to have this designation. As a PCI the project benefits from accelerated permitting procedures, improved regulatory conditions and continued eligibility to apply for financial support from the European Union.
InfraStrata retains a 65% interest in the project reducing to 55.25% should Baron Oil plc exercise their option to acquire a 15% interest in the project.
