Orcadian Energy Plc ( (GB:ORCA) ) has issued an announcement.

Orcadian Energy has expressed its approval of Serica’s acquisition of Parkmead (E&P) Ltd, becoming the operator of license P2634, in which Orcadian holds a 50% interest. This acquisition is deemed significant as the Fynn license within this area is one of the UK’s largest undeveloped oil discoveries, with substantial viscous and heavy oil resources. Orcadian, alongside Serica, aims to develop this opportunity with a focus on reducing emissions by leveraging geothermal heat and polymer flooding techniques. The strategic move is expected to bolster domestic oil production, enhance energy security, and reduce reliance on high-emission imports, aligning with the UK’s Net Zero Strategy.
