HEYCO是一家在美国和欧洲控股的上游能源公司，二十多年来一直为Egdon投资并提供技术建议。继 2022 年购买西班牙北部天然气田并设立马德里办事处之后，此次收购进一步丰富了 HEYCO 不断扩大的欧洲投资组合。

HEYCO 总裁兼首席执行官 George Yates 表示：“Gdon 是一家非常强大的企业，拥有当前的生产能力以及许多令人兴奋的传统、非常规和可再生机会。” “此次收购使我们能够将 Egdon 完全纳入 HEYCO 公司大家庭，并战略性地利用我们在英国、西班牙和美国项目中的集体技术和运营专业知识。”

Egdon 成立于 1997 年，持有英国 33 个许可证的权益，拥有从勘探到开发和生产石油和天然气的整个周期的机会。该公司的旗舰 Wressle 油田是英国陆上产量第二高的油田，仅次于 Wytch Farm。Egdon 还在开发能源存储、氢能、地热能和可再生能源发电的机会。

“Egdon 和 HEYCO 之间在多年的合作中建立了高度的相互尊重，”Egdon 首席执行官 Mark Abbott 说道。“我们期待 Egdon 作为 HEYCO 大家庭中的一家私营公司开启新篇章，财务和人力资本的结合将帮助我们实现提供本地衍生的、安全的、负担得起的和可持续的能源以满足英国需求的愿景”不断变化的能源需求。”

虽然埃格登的主要重点是传统石油和天然气项目，但它也拥有大量页岩资产，这些资产目前受到英国暂停水力压裂的影响。耶茨表示：“凭借在盖恩斯伯勒海槽的大量页岩油面积，如果立法者支持当地的非常规开发，埃格登将自己巧妙地定位为向英国家庭和企业提供大量天然气的领导者。”

在 2050 年及以后向净零过渡期间，英国对天然气的需求得到了独立认可。英国气候变化委员会根据英国的净零承诺，对五种情景下的天然气需求进行了建模，每种情景都显示出天然气供应的短缺。

英国拥有尚未开发的世界级页岩储量。数据显示，盖恩斯伯勒海槽的鲍兰页岩是一个绝佳的机会，每平方英里的天然气储量超过了美国大多数最大的天然气页岩区。

HEYCO, an upstream energy company with holdings in the United States and Europe, has invested in and provided technical advice to Egdon for more than two decades. This acquisition adds to HEYCO’s expanding European portfolio, following the purchase of a gas field in Northern Spain and the establishment of a Madrid office in 2022.

“Egdon is a very strong enterprise with current production and a number of exciting conventional, unconventional, and renewable opportunities,” said George Yates, President and CEO of HEYCO. “The acquisition allows us to bring Egdon fully into the HEYCO family of companies and strategically leverage our collective technical and operational expertise across projects in the UK, Spain, and the United States.”

Founded in 1997, Egdon holds interests in 33 licences in the UK with exposure to the full cycle of opportunities from exploration through to development and production of oil and gas. The company’s flagship Wressle field is the onshore UK’s second highest producing oil field after Wytch Farm. Egdon is also developing opportunities for energy storage, hydrogen, geothermal, and renewable generation.

“There is a great deal of mutual respect between Egdon and HEYCO built up over many years of working together,” said Mark Abbott, CEO of Egdon. “We look forward to Egdon’s next chapter as a private company within the wider HEYCO family where the combined financial and human capital will help us reach our vision of providing locally derived, secure, affordable, and sustainable energy to meet the UK’s evolving energy needs.”

While Egdon’s primary focus is on conventional oil and gas projects, it also has significant shale assets that are currently impacted by the UK’s moratorium on hydraulic fracturing. “With its sizeable shale acreage in the Gainsborough Trough, Egdon has smartly positioned itself to be a leader in delivering critical volumes of natural gas to UK households and businesses should lawmakers support local, unconventional development,” said Yates.

There is an independently recognised demand for natural gas in the UK both during the transition to Net Zero in 2050 and beyond. The UK’s Climate Change Committee has modelled natural gas demand across five scenarios compliant with the UK’s Net Zero commitments, each of which shows a shortfall of natural gas supplies.

The UK has an untapped trove of world-class shale reserves. Data shows that the Bowland Shale in the Gainsborough Trough is a premier opportunity with a gas in place per square mile exceeding most of the largest natural gas shale plays in the United States.
