– JERSEY, St. Helier – Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc (LON: PRD), the Jersey-based Oil and Gas Company with operations focused on developing carbon-neutral businesses in Trinidad, Morocco, and Ireland, today announced the appointment of Louis Castro as Non-Executive Director effective immediately.
“Today’s appointment is significant as it demonstrates Predator’s ability to attract high calibre experienced and well-connected Board members necessary to oversee the further development of the Company’s businesses.” said CEO, Paul Griffiths.
He added: These are in three diverse geographic areas but linked by a global aspiration to reduce CO2 emissions in countries with a high dependence on certain, more carbon-intensive, fossil fuels. The “greener” focus of our strategy established when coming to the market in 2018 has been put into practice and executed. This track record, which incorporates substantive progress on measurable sequestration of CO2 in Trinidad; the identification and de-risking of material gas prospects in Morocco adjacent to infrastructure to potentially substitute for coal in power plants; and the development of our LNG FSRU relationships as a means of providing flexible energy supply to replace coal and oil, is the catalyst for potential M & A transactions. Each of our businesses is ring-fenced in separate wholly-owned subsidiaries. Louis’s appointment today is the catalyst for utilising an additional valuable conduit for the Company to spread the Predator business model to peer companies and green funds looking for the right investment opportunity POST-covid19 that combines ethical investment with attractive project economics.”
