NOTES TO EDITORS
Chariot Oil & Gas Limited (www.chariotoilandgas.com) is an independent oil and gas exploration group, focusing on Namibia (offshore and onshore) and Peru (onshore) using state of the art technology for offshore and onshore exploration, through its 100% wholly-owned operating subsidiary Enigma.
The Group currently holds licences covering ten blocks in Namibia - eight of which are offshore and two are onshore - and three onshore blocks in the Marañon and Huallaga basins in northern Peru. All of these blocks are currently in the exploration phase.
In order to progress such exploration, the Group has engaged the services of a global petroleum system specialist, High Resolution Technology & Petroleum Ltda ("HRT") as the Group's independent technical consultant. HRT has extensive experience of the application of deep water technologies in the discovery of new oil and gas fields from its prior work on the South Atlantic margins (primarily in Brazil but also in western Africa). HRT has developed specialist technologies which have previously led to large discoveries offshore Brazil and these are being applied to the Group's blocks.
