Notes
Ascent Resources plc has a diversified portfolio of hydrocarbon
exploration and development projects across five countries in Europe:
Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, Slovenia and Netherlands.
Ascents
portfolio contains a solid base of field redevelopment projects with
selected exposure to exploration upside.
The portfolio is focussed on
gas and with the exception of the shallow water Netherlands project, all
of its projects are located onshore where operating and development
costs are substantially lower than they would be offshore.
