Tony O'Reilly, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"Despite the extreme market head-winds that Providence has faced into during the past year, we continue to stay focused on our long-term Irish-centric strategy. As a result of our work to date, we have now amassed in excess of
330 MMBOE of net audited 2C Contingent Resources at our Barryroe and Spanish Point assets and we also hold the leading acreage position in the Porcupine Basin, which has become a recent focus area for major industry players. Whilst the time required to conclude material commercial transactions is frustrating, we believe this is due to the current economic backdrop and the state of the capital markets rather than any reflection on our portfolio in particular. Recent stability in the oil market is already facilitating an improved backdrop for investment and, as a result, we are seeing the highest level of third party interest in our portfolio in over three years. We would like to acknowledge the continued support of our shareholders, who have provided the resources to allow us continue to execute our strategy."
