Notes to Editors:
Predator is operator of the Guercif Petroleum Agreement onshore Morocco which
is prospective for Tertiary gas in prospects less than 10 kilometres from the
Maghreb gas pipeline. The MOU-1 well has been completed and a follow-up
testing programme is being finalised to coordinate with a further drilling
programme beginning in 2022.
Predator is seeking to further develop the remaining oil reserves of
Trinidad's mature onshore oil fields through the application of CO2 EOR
techniques and by sequestrating anthropogenic carbon dioxide to produce
"greener" oil.
In addition, Predator also owns and operates exploration and appraisal assets
in licensing options offshore Ireland, for which successor authorisations have
been applied for, adjoining Vermilion's Corrib gas field in the Slyne Basin on
the Atlantic Margin and east of the decommissioned Kinsale gas field in the
Celtic Sea.
Predator has developed a Floating Storage and Regasification Project ("FSRUP")
for the import of LNG and its regassification for Ireland and is also
developing gas storage concepts to address security of gas supply and
volatility in gas prices during times of peak gas demand.
The Company has a highly experienced management team with a proven track
record in operations in the oil and gas industry.
