The latest announcement is out from Orcadian Energy Plc.
Orcadian Energy is exploring an innovative royalty-based funding structure with Albion Labs Canada, under which Albion would acquire up to around 5% royalty interests on future revenues from selected North Sea projects, subject to regulatory approvals. Albion plans to securitise and tokenise these royalties for its own investors via a BaFin-regulated entity, while Orcadian would not participate in the tokenisation process.
The structure is intended to give Orcadian an additional, less dilutive source of development capital, enabling it to retain ownership and operational control of its licences while progressing projects towards Field Development Plan approval. By tapping a broader, global investor base through digital financing infrastructure, the company aims to lower its cost of capital, support UK energy security and position its North Sea portfolio to benefit from rising demand for reliable energy driven by data centres, artificial intelligence and electrification, though there is no certainty the transaction will proceed.
