Touchstone has so far enjoyed success in its first two wells at Ortoire with the Coho and Cascadura discovery wells exceeding expectations. It intends to drill the third target, Chinook, in due course.

The Ortoire assets are expected to significantly boost production volumes as they as matured.

In March, with its financial results statement, Touchstone noted that it had immediately responded to the significant global economic uncertainty created by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the unprecedented decline in crude oil prices.
