Mark T. Højgaard, CEO commented:
We have continued to reduce overheads to create a very low-cost base, cutting general and administration costs in half.
Although the initial production from Orlando proved significantly lower than expected, the Orlando field production commenced in March 2019. Depending on production and the development in oil prices, Atlantic Petroleum is expecting to be cash generating in 2020.
The result is affected by impairment of the Orlando deferred consideration receivable, which is estimated to be DKK 53.5MM less than at the beginning of the year.
