This week’s oil price meltdown “won’t change” any short-term plans for Cairn Energy but could offer an opportunity, the Scottish oil firm’s boss said yesterday.
Scottish oil and gas exploration firm Cairn Energy has announced that it will shed its Norwegian subsidiary firm Capricorn Norge in a more than £80 million deal.
The North Sea remains an “active market” and a basin to “keep an eye on” for future acquisitions, said the boss of Cairn Energy yesterday after his firm shot to profit.
Cairn Energy will be “pleased” with its improved performance after posting a loss of over £800 million as recently as March, according to wealth management firm Brewin Dolphin.
Shares in Cairn Energy slid today after the Scottish oil firm said the outcome of its arbitration claim against India would not to be delivered “before late 2019”.
Bosses at Cairn Energy said today that cash flow from its North Sea interests would help the firm take advantage of "significant growth opportunities".
