Trinity Exploration & Production plc reported operating results for the year to 31 December 2016 and operating results for the first quarter of 2017. For the year, group average net production volumes of 2,542 bopd against 2,896 bopd a year ago.

For the quarter of 2017 daily production averaged 2,500 bopd, a satisfactory performance given the reduced levels of investment in 2016.

Net average production for 2017 is expected to be in the range of 2,600 - 2,800 bopd. Trinity is continuing to target an eventual run-rate closer to 3,000 bopd over the next 12 months (predominantly contingent upon the results of the pending onshore infill drilling programme).
