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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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. 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 Group's or the Parent 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.”

Significant events
- “For the year ended 2024, total revenue decreased from $67.2 million to $62.6 million. This decrease reflects the challenges faced against the oil price environment. The Group delivered a strong underlying operational performance, achieving a profit after tax of $9.9 million. This result underscores effective cost management and operational efficiencies despite a competitive market environment.”
- “The continual enhancement of Quality, Health, Safety, and Environmental (QHSE) performance remains a strategic priority for our organisation.”
- “Our customers continue to be the major oil and independent oil and gas companies where the level of drilling activity is determined by the economics affecting the overall demand for hydrocarbons. This remained steady during 2024.”
