About Egdon
Egdon was formed in 1997 by founding Directors Andrew Hindle and Mark Abbott. The Company was awarded its first licence in the 8th Onshore Licensing Round in 1998 and became an operator in 2000, the same year that the company moved onto the OFEX market. In 2004 Egdon listed on AIM. In January 2008 Egdon demerged its gas storage business, Portland Gas plc (now renamed Infrastrata), and again became a focused exploration and production business.
Objectives
