Background
Longboat Energy was established by the ex-Faroe Petroleum plc ("Faroe") management team at the end of 2019 to create a full-cycle North Sea E&P company through value accretive M&A and low-risk, near-field exploration. In June 2021 the Company entered into three bi-lateral transactions to acquire interests in a portfolio of seven exploration wells which have resulted in three discoveries (Egyptian Vulture, Rødhette and Kveikje) out of five wells drilled to date with four high impact, gas-weighted prospects to follow.
Longboat has targeted exploration prospects located in close proximity to existing infrastructure, with an overlap between exploration partners and infrastructure owners, providing a portfolio with a clear low-cost route to monetisation and low-carbon drilling and development opportunities, well aligned to Longboat's ESG targets which includes a corporate 'Net Zero' on a Scope 1 and 2 basis by 2050.
To finance the drilling programme, the Company raised gross proceeds of £35 million in 2021 by means of a share placing and a NOK 600 million (£52 million) Exploration Finance Facility (EFF) with SpareBank 1 SR-Bank ASA and ING Bank N.V.
