Keith Bush, Chief Executive Officer, commented, 'Recent work has been focused on ensuring the business can operate effectively in the current oil price environment. The benefits of this work can now be seen, where production from only two wells is expected to effectively support the whole group. The timing of the production shut-in during the first quarter of 2015 will also benefit cashflow due to the recent firming in oil prices and a reduction in operating costs as a result of reduced service rates.'
