Orlando revenues are not expected until till early 2019 so Atlantic Petroleum continues to consider that neither a net profit or dividend will occur in 2018.
Graeme Fawcett, Atlantic Petroleum’s Interim CEO commented:
“The stability and plan reported end 1st quarter 2018 has been maintained and priority focussed on cost management aligned to the Company’s financial support.
From a revenue and license perspective:
- The Orlando field progresses in the sound hands of Decipher Energy and Atlantic Petroleum's revenue income forecast reported in previous reports is unchanged.
- The long running process of reaching settlement on Blackbird and Ettrick is finished and longer-term guarantee aspects agreed.
- License P2112 (Badger field) interest progresses with reprocessing of existing seismic data. Once this work is complete Atlantic Petroleum will determine levels of involvement in any further work programme.
The Company is maintaining the goals it set at the end of 2017 and, duly encouraged, is looking to position itself as an active participant in new opportunities that are consistent with, and allowed by, its’ risk profiling, funding and projected revenues.”
