Challenger Energy Group PLC, up 15% at 7 pence, 12-month range 1.875p-8.3p. Says process for its farmout agreement with Chevron Corp for the Area Off-1 licence in Uruguay has progressed to the final stage. Says the board of ANCAP, Uruguay's state-owned oil company with regulatory responsibility for offshore licences, approved the farmout on Wednesday last week. Final regulatory stage consists of the farmout being notified to the Uruguayan Ministry of Industry, Energy & Mining. The requisite consortium agreement between Challenger and Chevron will concurrently be submitted to the Uruguayan Ministry of Economy & Finance for registration. The farmout can be completed once the consortium agreement is registered and a 20-day notification period has elapsed, Challenger says.

Principal operating subsidiary 3radical Ltd has won a new campaign deal with Mediacorp, "Singapore's largest content creator and national media network", following a "highly successful" test campaign. 3radical's Voco engagement platform was deployed on Mediacorp's website for the trial, and "captured valuable consumer data and saw significant increases in web traffic", Electric Guitar says. Adds that the deal will build on intelligence from the test run and use behavioural data to further personalise the experience of Mediacorp's website visitors, serving a wider national audience.
