Lansdowne Oil & Gas ("Lansdowne") is pleased to announce its unaudited results, for the six months ended 30 June 2022. The Company has targeted the Irish offshore shelf areas close to existing operating infrastructure for exploration, as these provide shallow water (generally less than 100 metres), and relatively low drilling costs and the Directors believe that these factors, combined with favourable fiscal terms, have the potential to deliver high value reserves and consequential shareholder value.
