Xcite falls as reserves disappoint
Shares in AIM-listed oil explorer Xcite lost 25.7 per cent yesterday after an independent report on its Bentley field in the North Sea revealed less oil than hoped. The report’s best estimate valued the reserves at $961m (£588.4m), which chief executive Richard Smith said was “an excellent outcome” which represents “a key milestone in our programme to determine full field reserves”.
