The Company focuses on acquiring oil and gas assets at various stages of development, particularly those nearing final investment decision (FID), to reduce time and risk. A major recent development is the final investment decision on the Sea Lion oil field off the Falkland Islands with Navitas' share of $1.17 billion, with the project expected to start production in the first quarter of 2028.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Since its inception, Navitas has raised over USD 2.2 billion in equity and debt from public markets. The company is transitioning from asset acquisition to production with the Sea Lion project. However, recent financial reports show small net losses and the company operates in a cyclical energy sector with commodity price exposure.
