Chariot Highlights Africa Workstreams in H1 Results

Tuesday, September 19, 2023

Chariot Limited, in its unaudited interim results for the six-month period ending June 30, highlighted its activities across the upstream, downstream and renewables continuum.

Adonis Pouroulis, CEO of Chariot commented: “We continued to progress all workstreams across the business throughout the period and further enhanced our portfolio with the award of the Loukos license onshore Morocco and the acquisition of our water desalination business. In each pillar of transitional gas, renewable power and green hydrogen, we have the opportunity to deliver a range of tangible benefits and drive real value. Long term scalability is a shared theme across all of our projects, but we are fully focused on executing our core objectives to de-risk the business, enable further growth and deliver near term production.”
