Chris Lewis, Hartshead CEO, commented: 
“I am delighted with such an excellent result in the 33rd Round. To have won so many blocks, with known discovered gas resources and a host of gas fields for re-development, development and appraisal vastly expands our portfolio and dramatically increases the number of opportunities we have to progress to gas production. This takes Hartshead from being a single License company to having multiple Licenses and projects within the UK.

As ever, it is the hard work and commitment from our team that has delivered this result, and once again I would like to thank the entire team for their continued efforts.

I am looking forward to being able to provide further details of these exciting awards in the near future.”
