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

“In determining the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements, the Directors are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence over the period to 31 December 2026 (the 'going concern period'). The Directors have considered the potential risks and uncertainties relating to ongoing geo-political events and its related economic impact on the Company's business, credit, market, and liquidity position. Based on the above, together with the Directors knowledge and experience of the market, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “On December 5, 2024, Shell and Equinor ASA, announced the combination of their UK offshore oil and gas assets and expertise to form a new company which will be the UK North Sea's biggest independent producer... Assets of $1,354 million and associated liabilities of $526 million have been classified as held for sale in the balance sheet at 31 December 2024.”
- “Despite the gas discovery at the Khufu well in Egypt, the substantial costs associated with further development led to the strategic decision to discontinue this segment of the North East El Amriya project. As a result, the well was written off at a value of $55 million.”
- “The business has decided not to extend Bimshire licenses in Barbados due to small possibility of success and the license of $4 million was impaired in the financial statements.”
- “On 30th October 2024, the board approved the share capital reduction in aggregate amount of $3,483 million (2,734,134,433 shares) which is supported by a solvency statement.”
