Kaat Van Hecke, Chief Executive Officer of Nostrum Oil & Gas, commented:

 

"With the status of the Covid-19 pandemic evolving rapidly, it has provided a highly dynamic and challenging scenario for global markets over the first quarter of 2020. Nostrum has been monitoring the potential impact on its operations and has rolled out a business continuity plan to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our employees.

In line with our strategy to commercialise our world class infrastructure we are continuing our discussions with third parties to secure additional volumes to fill the spare capacity at our gas treatment facility."

 

Sales volumesThe sales volumes split for Q1 2020 was as follows:
