Notes to Editors
Pantheon Resources plc is an AIM listed Oil & Gas company focused on several large projects located on the North Slope of Alaska ("ANS"), onshore USA where it has a 100% working interest in 193,000 highly prospective acres with potential for multi billion barrels of oil recoverable. Pantheon's stated objective is to deliver a sustainable market recognition of a value of $5-$10/bbl of recoverable resources by end 2028. This will involve targeting FID on the Ahpun field by the end of 2025, building production to 20,000 barrels per day of marketable liquids into the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) main oil line through a hot tap, and applying the resultant cashflows to support the FID on the Kodiak field by the end of 2028.
A major differentiator to other ANS projects is the close proximity to transport and pipeline infrastructure which offers a significant competitive advantage to Pantheon, allowing for materially lower capital costs and the ability to support the development with a significantly lower pre-cashflow funding requirement than is typical outside the US lower 48.
