Trinity Exploration & Production PLC (LON:TRIN) has highlighted that it has been in detailed stage discussions in its formal sales process.
The Trinidad focussed independent oil company has been in this process for over a year, it began in April 2015, and told investors it has received a number of conditional proposals and expressions of interest in relation to certain assets.
It also highlighted that in response to low oil prices it has over the past twelve months focussed ‘intently’ on streamlining its operations. As a result, the company says the forward plan for the asset base is attractive even at low oil prices.
“As a result of this effort, the board and management believe that Trinity's core portfolio offers an excellent base from which to expand once there has been a satisfactory resolution of the current balance sheet constraints,” it said in a statement.
The company added: “Trinity Shareholders are advised that, whilst Management is encouraged with progress to date, there can be no certainty that any offer or other transaction will result from these discussions or as to the terms on which any offer or other transaction may be made.”
In a separate announcement confirmed the continuing moratorium on debt repayment, with the latest deadline now moving to June 17.
The company owes US$13mln, though its lender had been supporting the company whilst it works to complete the sales process.
