Accordingly, Andy Morrison, Frank Moxon and Stewart Dalby have been appointed to the board.

Andy Morrison has been appointed as Chief Executive. He has spent his entire career in the oil and gas industry, including Shell, BG and BOC, and from 2007 until 2010 was CEO of Xtract Energy plc. Frank Moxon is an experienced corporate financier specialising in natural resources and was previously head of corporate finance and head of natural resources at Williams de Broe, and has been appointed as non-executive Chairman. Stewart Dalby, who has over 40 years' experience of the oil and gas industry, has been appointed as a non-executive director; Bruce Evers, formerly executive chairman, remains on the board as a non-executive director.

Under the guidance of the new Board, the Company intends to pursue a strategy of acquiring a portfolio of US oil and gas licence interests onshore and in shallow offshore waters, characterised by relatively low risk and low cost with the potential for near term production.

Chief Executive Andy Morrison said:

"We are delighted to have completed the acquisition of an interest in such a promising asset, which forms an excellent starting point for the Company in acquiring a portfolio of US oil and gas assets.
