Chief Executive Officer Hugh Mackay said: "I am highly encouraged by the performance of our producing UK assets during the first half of the year. Daily production has been consistently higher than that of the previous year despite the recent workover programme for West Firsby 7.

"Our UK production continues to generate more than enough cashflow to cover our

operating costs and provides a solid foundation from which we can develop our

other highly exciting assets."
