Company Background

Egdon is an established, UK-based energy company primarily focused on the
hydrocarbon-producing basins of the onshore UK. Egdon also has exploration
interests in the offshore UK and France.



Egdon was formed in 1997 by Dr Andrew Hindle and Mark Abbott. In December 2004,
Egdon's shares commenced trading on AIM, having been previously traded on Ofex
since July 2000. The Company is developing two major business areas; an oil and
gas exploration and production business which has a portfolio of twenty
exploration licences containing identified oil and gas prospects ranging from
discoveries under appraisal through to higher risk but higher reward 'wild cat'
exploration prospects; and a gas storage business initially focused on the
development of a salt cavern gas storage facility on the Isle of Portland,
Dorset.
