Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have, however, identified downside scenarios including a substantial fall in oil prices or production, and the redemption of the US$2.0 million secured loan in August 2027 - that give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding this, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis; the full Going Concern disclosure is set out in note 1.
