Commenting on the update, Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon Resources plc, said:

“2020 has started positively for Egdon, with continued strong production across our portfolio, a positive outcome to the Wressle planning inquiry and the announcement of a farm-in by Shell U.K. Limited into our offshore Resolution and Endeavour projects.

Our current focus is on the Wressle field development, where we are working to discharge the planning conditions ahead of commencing site works. We will provide shareholders with a detailed update on Wressle and the Biscathorpe project following Joint Venture meetings in the coming weeks.”
