('Andalas' or the 'Company')
Results of work programme and completion of acquisition of additional interest
Andalas Energy and Power Plc, the AIM listed upstream oil and gas and energy
company (AIM: ADL), is pleased to provide an update on its investment in Eagle
Gas Limited ("Eagle"). Eagle's operating subsidiary Holywell Resources Limited
("Holywell" or "Operator") now has the results of the 2018 seismic
interpretation work programme on Southern North Sea Licence P2112 ("Licence"),
which contains the gas prospect known as Badger.
Highlights:
* 2018 technical work programme completed thereby completing the Licence
commitment.
* Following the interpretation of the reprocessed 3D seismic covering the
block, Holywell has assessed the resource potential of the Badger gas
prospect:
+ Four seismic horizons mapped to represent prospective sandstone
reservoir objectives: Base Ketch, Westphalian B (Murdoch equivalent),
Westphalian A and Namurian (Trent equivalent) layers.
+ Gross mean prospective resources assessed to be 399 Billion cubic feet
(Bcf) of recoverable gas (net of inerts and liquids) and 3.9 million
barrels of natural gas liquids.
* Potential exploration well location identified to target 2 of the 4
objectives.
+ The well would be drilled in water depth of circa 45 metres (148 feet)
to a total depth (TD) of circa 4,200 metres (13,800 feet).
* Proposed well location is approximately 35 kms from local infrastructure,
including the Perenco operated Eagles Transport System (ETS) pipeline that
could, subject to negotiation, be the evacuation route for the produced gas
to the Bacton terminal, North Norfolk.
* Completion of acquisition of increased interest in Eagle (announced 25 July
2018):
+ Andalas now has a 25% interest in Eagle.
+ Andalas has issued 2,941,176 consideration shares to Eagle.
+ Simon Gorringe appointed to the board of Eagle.
Simon Gorringe, CEO of Andalas Energy and Power Plc said: "We believe that the
definition of a prospective resource is validation of our decision to
participate in the project via our investment in Eagle. Badger is a
significant gas prospect, which has the potential to be one of the larger
discoveries in recent years in the UK Southern North Sea.
"The programme finished on time and on budget. The next steps for the project
include the presentation to the UK OGA and for the joint venture partners to
agree a forward plan under which they can progress the project."

*Andalas has a 25% shareholding in Eagle, which is the 100% owner of Holywell,
which is the owner of 66 2/3% of the licence.
Note 1: The work carried out using international resources and reserves
reporting and classification standard adopted by the AIM market of the London
stock exchange - the March 2007 SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE Petroleum Resources
Management System ("PRMS").
Note 2: Prospective Resources are those estimated quantities of hydrocarbons
that may be potentially be recovered by the application of a future development
project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an
associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration,
appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a
significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
Issue of Equity
The Company has issued 2,941,176 nil par value ordinary shares in Andalas to
Eagle ( "Consideration Shares") and therefore completed the acquisition of its
additional interest, thereby taking its interest in Eagle to 25%. The
Consideration Shares which will rank pari passu with existing Ordinary Shares.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Consideration
Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that dealings in the
consideration shares will commence on or about 21 August 2018.
Total voting rights
Following Admission of the Consideration Shares, expected on or around 21
August 2018, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 296,184,423
ordinary shares of nil par value ("Ordinary Shares"), with each Ordinary Share
carrying the right to one vote. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares
in treasury. This figure of 296,184,423 Ordinary Shares may therefore be used
by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which
they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a
change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("DTRs").
Reserves and Resources Cautionary Statement
Oil and gas reserves and resource estimates are expressions of judgment based
on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when
originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or
techniques become available. Additionally, by their very nature, reserve and
resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations,
which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available
through additional drilling and analysis, the estimates are likely to change.
This may result in alterations to development and production plans which may,
in turn, adversely impact the Company's operations. Reserves estimates and
estimates of future net revenues are, by nature, forward looking statements and
subject to the same risks as other forward looking statements.
