Hurricane Energy PLC is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on the United Kingdom Continental Shelf. Established in 2005, the company concentrates on unlocking unconventional fractured basement reservoirs and has developed its flagship asset, the Lancaster field, located in the West of Shetland region. Hurricane’s operations encompass seismic appraisal, reservoir evaluation, and high‐pressure horizontal drilling techniques to optimize heavy oil and condensate recovery.
First oil from the Lancaster field was achieved in 2019, marking Hurricane’s transition from a pure exploration entity to a producing operator. Production is exported via subsea infrastructure to the Sullom Voe terminal, with sales directed to European and international refineries. In addition to Lancaster, Hurricane holds interests in contiguous acreage offering near‐term development prospects such as Lincoln and Whirlwind, all of which benefit from existing facilities and pipeline tie‐in potential.
The company serves global energy markets, leveraging its technical expertise to commercialize challenging hydrocarbon plays. Hurricane’s approach emphasizes capital discipline, technical innovation, and rigorous project governance to maximize recovery and manage operational risk. By focusing on value engineering and cost optimization, the company aims to maintain efficient production profiles while exploring upside potential across its West of Shetland acreage.
Hurricane’s board and senior management team comprise industry veterans with extensive North Sea experience, providing strategic oversight and operational leadership. Under this leadership, the company continues to evaluate opportunities to expand its resource base, advance basin exploration, and enhance production performance. Hurricane remains committed to responsible development and stakeholder engagement as it pursues long-term value creation in its core operating region.
