Our DNA

SMALL TEAM

EXPLORATION SUCCESS

Shareholders are positioned to gain from the significant value upside arising from exploration success. Assets are located in close proximity to existing infrastructure enhancing project economics, reducing carbon intensity and facilitating rapid development.

We have amassed a portfolio of low risk, high impact infrastructure-lead exploration assets with net P50 prospective resources of more than 1.25 TCF (c. 200 mmboe) in the established infrastructure rich basins of the UK Continental Shelf ('UKCS'). The portfolio is primarily focused on future gas production given the increasing importance of natural gas in the transition to a low carbon future.

HIGH-IMPACT PORTFOLIO

UNIQUELY POISED

We have attracted high quality partners in Shell and Capricorn Energy. These partnerships will continue to deliver significant exploration activity across Deltic's portfolio with confirmed drilling activity in 2022 and the potential for multiple future exploration wells to be drilled .
