Conclusion

Investors who have invested into this IPO can consider ‘Exiting’ from their position at the closing price of AU$ 0.23 as on May 05, 2022, given:

• Commodity Price risk: The price at which the company sells its oil and gas can influence its financial success and permit value. Any significant drop in realized oil and gas price might cause delays in transactions and exploration programs, as well as a reduction in the company's booked reserves.

• Regulatory risk: The company's operations are subject to Australian and UK regulatory requirements. Any changes to these requirements may affect or restrict its right to conduct its business of exploration and development activities.

• Other Risks: The company's other risks include the cost of drilling, exploration costs, equipping and developing operating wells. Hence, a surge in these costs may adversely impact the company's viability.
