First-pass take

Pure-play oil and gas exploration with zero AI or ML exposure. Pre-revenue, loss-making (£6.78m FY2025), and entirely dependent on successful KON-16 drilling in Angola in 2026. Despite clean balance sheet (minimal debt), high burn rate (~£2.8m annually) and reliance on capital markets create significant downside risk.
