The deadline for repayment has been extended from today to 13 September 2023.

Orcadian, which currently holds £95,000, said it was in discussions with Stasco for a possible further extension.

In March, Orcadian said it would focus on funding and a farm-in for its flagship project of the Pilot oil field within licence P2244.

The company suffered a setback in May when it was refused a second time extension for sub areas of licence P2320 where Orcadian had planned to sell its interests in Crinan and Dandy and to farm out the Carra prospect.
