West Newton Technical Update and Presentation
Union Jack Oil plc (AIM: UJO), a UK focused onshore hydrocarbon
production, development and exploration company is pleased to
announce that a technical presentation in respect of the recently
drilled West Newton B-1 and B-1Z appraisal wells is now available
on the Company`s website www.unionjackoil.com.
The Company holds a 16.665% economic interest in PEDL183,
encompassing an area of 176,000 acres and located within the
Western sector of the Southern Zechstein Basin, onshore UK, North
of the river Humber. PEDL183 contains the conventional West Newton
A-1, A-2 and B-1Z discoveries.
The West Newton technical presentation contains new significant
technical data that is material to the ongoing commercial
evaluation of the project. The presentation identifies or contains
the following new information:
-- Locations for the West Newton A-1, A-2, B-1, B-1Z and a
proposed B-2 well, which has planning permission in place and is
provisionally planned to be drilled in H2 2021, and a demonstration
of where the B-1Z well represented a considerable 2.5 kilometre
step-out to the south of the A-2 well
-- Good seismic calibration across the West Newton project area,
highlighting both the Kirkham Abbey "platform" and "slope"
formations
- Demonstrated hydrocarbon column of at least 118 metres with no hydrocarbon-water contact
- Thick porous section identified in both A-2 and B-1Z wells
suggesting a contiguous structure across the Kirkham Abbey
formation
- B-1Z well de-risks the southern component of the West Newton
licence area and crucially supports the accuracy of the seismic
interpretation across the entire platform
-- Log results at B-1Z well were excellent, exceeding Union Jack`s pre-drill expectations
- Good porosity throughout the interval
- Kirkham Abbey interval hydrocarbon saturated
- Mudgas concentrations observed while drilling through the
Kirkham Abbey formation at B-1Z well were as high as 9.8% total
gas
-- 18 metres of core cut and recovered from the B-1Z well
- Visible natural fracturing, micro fracturing and vuggy
porosity demonstrated from core-lab inspection and analysis
-- Numerous additional leads and prospects, including Ellerby
and Spring Hill, identified across PEDL183
David Bramhill, Executive Chairman of Union Jack commented:
"Following the drilling of the successful B-1Z appraisal well, the
technical summary of the West Newton project, provided on the Union
Jack website, is the result of extensive evaluation by technical
teams at Rathlin Energy, Reabold Resources and Union Jack, all whom
have contributed additional materiality to our technical
understanding of West Newton.
"There remains considerable upside in the opinion of Union
Jack`s management especially with the Ellerby and Spring Hill
Prospects being on-trend with West Newton.
"We look forward to reporting further progress on this
compelling onshore conventional project in due course."
