By GlobalDataHague and London Oil chairman and interim CEO Andrew Cochran said: “This proposed acquisition represents a unique opportunity to add to the existing portfolio as well as expanding it within HALO’s established ‘core’ areas, including transportation & infrastructure.
“Sillimanite is already under development and would add materially to the company’s production profile next year as well as adding reserves immediately upon a successful closing; also, the proposed acquisition would establish HALO’s first production in the UK ahead of the Greater Pegasus Area development project.”
The Sillimanite Development Unit consists of 11.73% Block 44/and 7.037% Block D12b.
