About Impact Oil & Gas
Impact is currently privately owned. The Company acquired its first asset, the Tugela South Exploration Right, offshore South Africa in 2011 and has subsequently expanded its asset base across the offshore margins of South and West Africa. It has since partnered with ExxonMobil and Statoil (South Africa), CNOOC (AGC – between Senegal and Guinea Bissau) and Total (Namibia and South Africa). It is currently in discussions with potential partners for a farm-in to its Gabonese assets. The Company’s current portfolio covers a combined area of over 90,000 km² (gross).
Impact is a pure exploration company with a strategic focus on large scale, mid to deep water plays of sufficient size to be of interest to major companies. Its management is committed to further expanding this attractive portfolio of exploration assets and securing large independents and major oil companies as partners. The Company’s objective is to build a world class portfolio, in a number of different geologic and geographic locations to minimise risk and with a large enough portfolio to ultimately enhance the chance of drilling success. Management believes that by doing so, and by having oil industry partners validate its exploration concepts and ideas, it aims to deliver substantial shareholder value in the medium to longer term.
