2. Retaining potential to future upside with State Gas
3. Continued progress of the Cliff Head CCS Project

5. Continued truck-to-tanker (oil export) income / funding.
6. Reduced portfolio risk exposure
The Managing Director, Mr. Conrad Todd said “Triangle Energy Global (TEG) is pleased to have taken the opportunity to monetise some of our holdings in State Gas. This finance will allow Triangle to progress the L7 and EP437 permits, as well as our Carbon Capture and Sequestration project over the Cliff Head Field along with new ventures opportunities, while retaining a substantial holding in State Gas which gives good exposure to potential upside.
Triangle looks forward to working with the new board of State Gas”.
