- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “To reduce the share premium of the Company from £892,188,602 to £2,188,602. The resulting reduction of £890,000,000 was transferred to the Company's distributable reserves.”
- “Following the increase in distrubutable reserves, the Company proposed and paid a distribution in kind in the form of the receivable under the Loan Note entered into between the Company and its Parent, (Chevron International Exploration and Production Company Limited) on 1 November 2024 in the amount of £661,432,216.91 (the "Distribution in Kind").”
- “To propose and pay dividends totalling $100million (£74.2million) to Chevron International Exploration and Production Company Limited.”
- “On 1 November 2024, a hive-up agreement was executed under which the provision of technical services support transferred from the company to Chevron International Exploration and Production Company Limited. As a result, no income relating to these services was recognised within other income in 2025 (2024: £13.7 million).”
- “During the year, the company recognised an impairment charge of £28.6 million within cost of sales in respect of capitalised costs associated with the Bridge Linked Platform (BLP) concept for the next phase of development of the Clair area. The impairment followed the decision not to progress the BLP concept, resulting in those costs no longer being recoverable.”
