The following Phase I Concept Select contracts were awarded following a technical and commercial bid evaluation process:

  • Xodus Group ‐ Subsurface Geology & Geophysics;

  • Petrofac – Pipelines, Facilities, Safety and Environmental;

  • Fraser Well Management – Well Construction ;

  • Fenix Consulting Delft BV ‐ Frac Modelling and Design.

In addition to these contracts, Darrell Mandiwall, was appointed as Lead Reservoir Engineer to undertake detailed dynamic reservoir simulation, integrated asset modelling and act as interface between various disciplines within the Concept Select project.

As part of the Concept Select work program subsea and unmanned platform facilities will be evaluated as options to develop the Phase I gas fields (Victoria and Viking Wx) and integrated with potential offtake routes via third party host facilities and infrastructure. Once completed the Concept Select work program will result in the selection of the optimum engineering solution for the development of the Victoria and Viking‐Wx gas fields. Revised recoverable resources and full field economics from the selected development concept will form the basis of an updated Competent Persons Report (CPR).

Notes to Editors:

Hartshead Resources NL

ASX‐listed Hartshead Resources NL and is focussed on building a financially, technically and environmentally responsible European Energy business.

Hartshead’s goal is to secure and invest in projects where resources can be extracted and delivered to meet Europe’s growing energy demand while supporting the transition to a low carbon future.

In progressing this strategy Hartshead is focused on its 100% owned Production Seaward License P2607 comprising of five blocks which contain four existing gas fields in the UK Southern Gas Basin.

Hartshead brings together a highly experienced oil and gas team with specialised knowledge covering subsurface, engineering, commercial, QHSE and capital markets with the required skillsets needed to successfully and safely deliver oil and gas upstream projects.

5 Prospective resources are estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) and relate to undiscovered accumulations. These prospective resources estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
