Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Union Jack Oil has received permission from the UK Environmental Agency to test the onshore #2-A West Newton in PEDL183 in East Yorkshire. The prospect is within the western sector of the Southern Zechstein Basin. The permit allows a pump jack to be used for lifting wellbore fluids and for the utilization of a smaller incineration unit during the testing of the well. During drilling and early testing operations of #2-A West Newton, additional information was gathered on the targeted Kirkham Abbey reservoir that identified a potential oil leg overlain by an associated gas cap within the reservoir interval.
