About Gasol plc

Gasol plc's strategy is to provide African gas for the next generation.  Power stations in West Africa currently operate predominantly on liquid fuels such as diesel, light crude and jet fuel, but many of these plants are also capable of using gas.  Gasol will initially supply these customers with gas from regasified Liquefied Natural Gas ("LNG"), which can provide significant cost savings in the order of 20 to 30 per cent.  This involves the delivery of LNG to a leased Floating Storage and Regasification Vessel, which will be berthed in Cotonou harbour, Benin and will supply the regasified LNG into the West African Gas Pipeline. The West African Gas Pipeline is a 678km gas pipelineinvolving an investment of over US$1 billion, built to transport gas from Nigeria to Benin, Togo and Ghana which has been operational since March 2011, but today operates at significantly less than full capacity. Once there is sufficient regional demand for gas, Gasol aims to develop captive gas reserves in offshore Nigeria and will supply this gas through the West African Gas Pipeline.  This pipeline gas will be cheaper and therefore displace the LNG derived gas, resulting in further savings for customers

Gasol's shares have been listed on the London Stock Exchange's AIMsince 2005 with the ticker code "GAS". Further information on the Company is available at
