We are a fundamentally different company than we were a few years ago, and our rebranded company represents the transformation our organisation has undergone over time. As we anticipate production tie-in from the Oyo-8 and Oyo-7 wells, it is with great excitement that we look to the future and the significant growth potential of Erin Energy."
