Trinity Exploration & Production comments
Bruce Dingwall CBE, Executive Chairman, said,
“The first half of the year delivered another strong performance as Trinity continued to increase base production levels whilst controlling costs, deriving further operating efficiencies ahead of the recommencement of our onshore drilling programme. Importantly, with our financial performance demonstrating the success of our near-term strategy, we also continued to progress longer-term objectives with regards to our offshore opportunity.”
“Our strong balance sheet and robust base production mean that we are delivering on our financial and production targets, and at the same time, ensuring that we can take advantage of any strategic opportunities that may arise. We remain focused on maximising output and returns for shareholders and continue to evaluate the best ways of protecting and enhancing those returns through prudent treasury management, industry leading operating practices and technical innovation. Given the strength of our business model, the ongoing work programme and visibility afforded by our balance sheet, we continue to face the future with confidence.”
