The Aberdeen-based company said the deal to increase its share in the Perth and Dolphin oil fields which it operates has increased its reserves by 19 per cent to 27.9 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The fields form the core of the group’s major Perth-Dolphin-Lowlander (PDL) project and Cross, who is executive chairman, said the deal strengthens Parkmead’s position in what is one of the largest undeveloped oil projects in the North Sea. No financial value was provided for the transaction.
