In 1947, the Kermac No. 16 well was drilled in the Gulf of America’s Ship Shoal Block 32, becoming the first offshore oil well completed beyond sight of land. Operated by Kerr-McGee with partners Phillips Petroleum and Stanolind, it introduced fixed offshore platform drilling and set the foundation for modern offshore exploration. This defining milestone in the industry is the inspiration behind the name 1947 Oil & Gas plc.
1947 Oil & Gas is focused on acquiring producing oil and gas assets to deliver maximum returns for investors. The Company is led by globally recognised operators and financiers with a proven track record in the sector.
