Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “In 2022, following a detailed review, the Company determined that the Ninian field was no longer economic and began accelerating cessation of production and decommissioning activities. Well plug and abandonment activities began in the fourth quarter of 2023 and continued throughout 2024 and 2025. During 2025, due to weakening market conditions, the Company has determined that its T Block assets are no longer economically viable. The Company now plans to accelerate cessation of production to the first quarter of 2027 and associated crude oil and gas reserves have been de-booked.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
