Director dealings: Enquest CEO ups stake via trust

Enquest revealed on Monday that chief executive Amiad Bseisu had acquired 796,874 ordinary shares in the London-listed crude oil producer via Double A Limited, a discretionary trust in which his extended family holds a beneficial interest.

Bseisu, who was appointed as CEO of Enquest back in February 2010, acquired the shares through the trust on Friday at an average price of 18.50p each, for a total value of £147,421.69.

Back in March, Enquest reported a 48.2% improvement to its average group production in its final results in March, to 55,447 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

The UK-based firm said its revenue rose to $1.2bn in the year ended 31 December, from $635.2m a year earlier, while EBITDA surged to $716.3m thanks to an uptick in both volumes and realised prices, partially offset by the impact of commodity hedges.

As of 1630 GMT, Enquest shares were down 0.82% at 18.21p.
