Company Overview

Serica Energy plc (OTCMKTS:SQZZF) is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with a primary focus on assets in the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) and a strategic interest in the Fortuna FLNG development in Equatorial Guinea.

This strategy has enabled the company to leverage existing infrastructure, optimize development costs, and maintain a resilient production profile. With a focus on operational efficiency and safe drilling practices, Serica has repeatedly delivered production growth and reserve additions while adhering to stringent regulatory and environmental standards.

Serica is governed by a board and management team with extensive sector experience in North Sea exploration and production.
