Circle Oil
Circle Oil Plc (AIM:Β COP) is an international oil & gas exploration and developmentΒ CompanyΒ with anΒ expandingΒ portfolio of assets inΒ Morocco,Β Tunisia,Β Oman,Β EgyptΒ andΒ NamibiaΒ with a combination of low-risk near-term production and significant exploration upside potential. TheΒ CompanyΒ listed onΒ AIMΒ in October 2004.Β
Internationally, theΒ CompanyΒ hasΒ continued to expand itsΒ portfolioΒ over the past 2 yearsΒ and now has assetsΒ inΒ the Rharb Basin, Morocco;Β the Ras Mamour Permit in southern Tunisia;Β the Mahdia Permit offshore Tunisia; theΒ Grombalia Permit in northern Tunisia;Β the Zeit Bay area of EgyptΒ andΒ the Owambo Basin,Β Namibia. CircleΒ alsoΒ has the largest licence holding of anyΒ CompanyΒ inΒ Oman.Β In addition toΒ its highly prospectiveΒ Block 52Β offshore, the CompanyΒ also has an ongoing exploration program in Block 49Β onshore.
The Company's strategy is to locate and secureΒ additionalΒ licensesΒ inΒ prospectiveΒ hydrocarbon provinces and through targeted investment programmes, monetise the value in those assets for the benefit of shareholders. This could be achieved through farm-outs to selected partners who would then invest in and continue the development of the asset into production, or Circle may itself opt to use its own expertise to appraise reserves and bring assets into production, generatingΒ sustainedΒ cash flow for further investment.
