NU-Oil and Gas plc is an independent oil and gas company whose strategy is to build a diverse portfolio of assets with a strong emphasis on acquiring interests in stranded and marginal fields. These fields are low risk highly-appraised projects and consequently the Company's entry cost will be low. NU-Oil will look to develop these assets utilising solutions delivered by Marginal Field Development Company (MFDevCo) and the MFD Consortium, which can significantly improve the development economics of a project. This is also expected to enable the early booking of reserves. |
