(MENAFN- ABN Newswire) Brisbane, Sep 25, 2017 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Central Petroleum Limited () () has had another year of significant progress operationally and financially with growth in oil and gas production and revenues, continued focus on costs and the securing of the EDL gas contract for supply which commenced in June 2017.

The financial performance for the year was marred by the mark to market loss on the Macquarie gas prepayment contract, where repayment will commence either financially or through the supply of gas. However, operational financial performance should continue to improve in 2017/18 with Central essentially self-funding ensuring all funds from the capital raising will be devoted to the drilling programme.
