Ithaca said it now expected full-year production of 109,000- 119,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboe/d) from an earlier estimate of 105 - 115 kboe/d.
The company bought an additional 46.25% stake in the Cygnus, the largest UK Continental Shelf gas field, on Tuesday, lifting its interest to 85%. It also reported a rise in first-quarter production to 127.4 kboe/d from 58.7 kboe/d a year earlier.
