Serica Energy ( (GB:SQZ) ) has shared an update.

Serica Energy has announced its acquisition of 100% shares in Parkmead (E&P) Limited from Parkmead Group Plc, which includes significant interests in the Skerryvore and Fynn Beauly licences. This strategic move, valued at an initial £5 million with deferred and contingent payments, enhances Serica’s position in these assets, consolidating its interests and providing strategic flexibility, particularly in the Skerryvore licence where it will now hold a 70% stake. The acquisition also comes with tax advantages due to Parkmead’s carried forward tax losses, and is expected to close in the first half of 2025, pending customary approvals.
