"I am delighted to welcome Vicary to the Board and look forward to working with him in the years ahead, leveraging off his considerable experience as we look to grow the business organically with our core Verbier asset as well as continuing to evaluate and pursue accretive North Sea focused acquisition opportunities.  

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott for his contribution to the Company's development, as we transitioned through the restructuring of Trap Oil into Jersey Oil & Gas, followed by the successful Verbier oil discovery. I, and the entire Jersey Oil & Gas team, wish Scott all the best with his future endeavours."
