Lansdowne Oil & Gas Plc
LOGP:LN
Overview
Company Profile
Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc is an independent oil and gas exploration company, incorporated in England and Wales and listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, since April 21st, 2006. Lansdowne has its operating headquarters based in Dublin, Ireland with its registered office in London, England.
Lansdowne is focused on oil and gas exploration and appraisal opportunities in the North Celtic Sea Basin (“NCSB”) offshore southern Ireland.
Lansdowne has targeted the Irish offshore shallow shelf areas for exploration and exploitation as it considers the proven oil and gas productive NCSB relatively underexplored in the context of the North Sea neighbouring basins. Lansdowne’s portfolio of opportunities offers a relatively low-cost shallow water drilling environment that combined with competitive fiscal terms afford a realistic expectation of high returns on investment within the medium term. Lansdowne’s in-house knowledge and experience as provided by its management and technical team, coupled with its comprehensive data-base, assures its competitive advantage within the industry in this region.
