Diversified Gas & Oil PLC ("DGO" or the "Company") owns and operates approximately 8,800 conventional gas and oil producing wells across Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia in the Appalachian Basin in the northeastern United States. The Company has grown rapidly over the last two years, capitalising upon opportunities to acquire conventional, low risk oil and gas producing assets from larger US exploration and production companies which are today focused increasingly upon the opportunities from unconventional shale production.

 

The Board announced on 5 May 2017 that the Company had entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement to acquire certain producing gas and oil assets, comprising approximately 7,300 producing wells, close to the Company's existing operations, principally in the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, southern New York and northeast Tennessee (the "Titan Assets").
