1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction: Warwick Energy Limited is a private
UK company offering its upstream oil and gas
assets for sale through the acquisition of four wholly
owned subsidiary companies. These companies
own between 20% and 100% of the working
interests in 10 License interests onshore (most of
which it also operates) and a royalty interest
offshore UK. The assets include four onshore field
appraisal projects, three main exploration prospects
and an offshore ORRI (Over-Riding Royalty
Interest) in an offshore Southern North Sea block.
This contains a gas field with anticipated
development in 2007/08. Warwick is also offering an
option to acquire its two onshore producing gas to
power projects including another that is currently
shut in (Ref: Table 1 and montages attached for a
summary and location of the assets involved). Asset Resource Potential: Recent review of
Warwick’s upstream assets has been carried out by
Warwick’s decision to sell is the result of a various independent groups that estimate a total
corporate strategy to refocus on renewables resource potential of both the development and
