What we do

Produce, develop and explore
We drill wells with our Joint Venture Partners on existing discovered reserves and resources to produce oil and gas. We maximise returns through our low-operating costs and optimising production. We explore for oil and gas in our existing licences. We conduct operations responsibly and safely.

Grow
Organic growth through disciplined and careful reinvestment into existing assets that will generate value (drilling, work programmes, workovers, operational efficiencies). Inorganic growth via acquisitions with a focus on production.

Monetise
We assess our portfolio regularly and look for commercialisation opportunities that can be monetised at different stages of the oil and gas cycle.

Responsible value creation
We are committed to making a positive contribution, wherever we do business by delivering tangible benefits to our stakeholders. This includes the value distributed through salaries, taxes, payments to authorities, contractors and suppliers, capital spending and social investment.
