Harbour Energy plc is an oil and gas company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

History

The company was established by the commodity trader, Noble Group, and the private-equity firm, EIG Global Energy Partners, in July 2014.[5] The initial funding was US$150 million from Noble Group and $50 million from EIG Global Energy Partners.[5] The company provided financial backing for Chrysaor Holdings to acquire assets valued at US$3.8bn from Royal Dutch Shell; the backing led to the company becoming the largest shareholder in Chrysaor Holdings.[6]

In June 2020, the company announced the provision of backing to enable Chrysaor Holdings to acquire Premier Oil.[7] In March 2021 the company merged Chrysaor Holdings and Premier Oil and absorbed both into Harbour Energy.[8] It was announced that the merged business would be managed by Linda Cook, who had been CEO of Harbour Energy since it was established.[7] The transaction also made Harbour Energy the UK's largest independent oil and gas business.[8]

In 2023, the Indonesia oil and gas regulator SKK Migas approved the first plan of development for the Tuna offshore gas field, operated by Harbour Energy, with a total estimated investment of $3 billion.[9]
