CAIRN Energy is still embroiled in a tax dispute in India but the company has said it is in good shape to live with low oil prices.

Edinburgh-based Cairn said it ended 2014 with a strong balance sheet although the company has been prevented from selling its remaining stake in its former Indian subsidiary, worth around $700m (£465m).

Chief executive Simon Thomson said Cairn will not drill any more wells off Greenland unless it can recruit new partners to support activity in the area.

The company is planning to drill up to six wells off Senegal in West Africa, where it made two big finds last year.
