Having sold their drilling fluids business they can now focus on exploiting their North Sea assets. In particular their 10% interest in the Athena field which is being brought to production in Q4 2011 by Ithaca Energy. LDH's share should be around 2000bopd.

sp up 23% today on takeover bid news with Athena oil production starting before the end of 2011 possibly an attractive takeover target for the likes of Ithaca or even Parkmead.

is LHD the next small north sea focused oily to be taken over?
