Legend Petroleum (UK) Limited

Legend Petroleum (UK) Limited was a private oil and gas company founded in November 2017 and registered in the UK. Specializing in the use of Controlled Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) technology, the company aimed to maximize returns in mature basins and suitable geological contexts. It was the result of a collaboration between experienced individuals from the exploration and operational backgrounds in the oil industry. The company's objective was to leverage scientific and engineering knowledge to compete effectively within the industry. Legend Petroleum secured three blocks in the UK sector of the North Sea and identified other potential prospects for its portfolio. Despite initial progress, the company faced challenges due to the difficult circumstances in the oil and gas industry, resulting in a lack of investment in exploration. This setback ultimately led to the inability to secure the necessary funding to progress the company's Work Programme, consequently leading to the decision to wind up Legend Petroleum. Overall, Legend Petroleum demonstrated a strategic approach to leveraging CSEM technology and expertise in an effort to thrive in a competitive industry. However, the broader challenges within the oil and gas sector ultimately impacted its ability to secure the needed investment for sustained operations and growth.
