I shall be watching with interest.

the burniston planning meeting starts at 1pm, on friday 24 april 2026 at scarborough town hall, st nicholas street, scarborough yo11 2hg. it can also be viewed online. link to agenda a lobby of councillors is due to start outside the town hall at midday.

campaigners in east yorkshire are considering legal action against the environment agency for allowing permission for lower-volume fracturing (in this case called reservoir stimulation) at the west newton-a oil and gas site. recently, east yorkshire council voted unanimously against fracking in the county.

a planning application is expected for proppant squeeze at the wressle oil site near s****horpe in north lincolnshire.

Apart from taking a salary here (low or high) I do wonder how Craig would expect to turn this company around an who he would bring in with him ?

For someone supposedly financially astute, he didn't even time his buy-ins here correctly an he is far from a geologist??!

It's a shame to think that once it was thought that Biscathorpe could have been bigger than West Newton from Graham Bull's analysis. If Egdon have thrown the towel in on that site I cant see much future for the Pennystone Flags either especially if proppant squeezes become classed as fracking. Will a failure at Crossroads be game over in the USA ?!

Sadly, the future does not look very bright for your annual report David.

Greypanther REABOLD LSE:

As a former geologist, I've not been exactly impressed by the expertise of either Rathlin or Reabold up to now, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them screw up the proppant squeeze. But Corelab and RPS are in another technical league. However, If you look at the WNA-2 core log by Cambridge Carbonates (it's still available on the Onshore Geophysical Library website (UKOGL), you will see that there's only a thin interval at the top of the core that has any real permeability. Even then, it's within a low porosity/permeability interval. Unfortunately, we don't know for sure if that's where Rathlin will perforate the well for the squeeze. So what's the betting they'll select the much thicker interval lower down the core with far lower poro-perms? If they do that, they will be very lucky to get a flow, and probably not even 500,000 cu. ft /day IMO.

Crossroads

The Operator is confident that the well will be spudded before the end of April 2026.

High Risk !!

Call for councillors to reject North Yorkshire fracking plans

Big decision that one that could have massive ramifications for Wressle...West Newton...etc etc

Https://drillordrop.com/2026/04/23/biscathorpe-decommissioning-due/

Is that like the gas out of Colle Santo in Italy , hey Sachin an Stephen ?

All CEO's have done very well in salaries from these pipe dreams.... no gas has gone into a single home in the UK or Italy with West Newton or Colle Santo.

40 % COS

Good luck with that going by the other drills !

15:50:16 Hi there thetoonarmy. I don't think there's anything very unusual in giving Graham Bull a 12 month NED contract. In my own experience it's not very uncommon, and he's also their technical (geological & geophysical) consultant.

greypanther2

Let us hope this younger new blood is more experienced than Craig cause he comes across to me as clueless with his excitement about the Andrew's well an buying in at a higher price ?! Etc etc

Graham Bull is a very good geologist. Just listen to some of his presentations...Unless Craig is going to start looking at the cores ? 😂

This one is so good with Graham Bull.

I do agree that the salaries are too high an should be cut back.

I do not see what Craig will bring to Union Jack Oil with the evidence I have spoken of here so far from what we have seen, with his failed purchases, an heard from him so far ?

BrendonButter,

Have you ever thought of the miles David had to do to get from Devon to Wressle to West Newton to London etc etc

Even 'if' it was a company car £80,000 on a company car is not unreasonable.

If it is the same car in question that came up a while ago by a banned poster my understanding was it was David's car from many years ago ?! I recall him snooping at David's house.

REAKING: Union Jack Corporate excess – the Bath accommodation20 Jan 2026 16:48

And fine dining

'By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM

I shall not let aging trougher David Bramhill laugh at me for long. One good turn deserves another. Last week I looked at the lavish hotel usage of the Union Jack board and company Porsche driving twitter gimp Chris Bailey when in London. However, the headquarters of Union Jack Oil & Gas (UJO) are in Bath.'

--------------------------------------------------

Is this also true BrendonButter as stated that the 'twitter gimp ' is Chris Bailey ?

I do not believe this is true.

Union Jack Oil plc

("Union Jack" or the “Company")

Placing and Subscription of £2 million to fund growth

Craig Howie £150,000

David Bramhill £15,000

Joseph O’Farrell £15,000

Matt Small £10,000

'Union Jack Oil (UJO), the company that bought an eighty grand Porsche for the gimp who runs its X account'

Wasn't this David's car ? The 'gimp' you speak of was a very nice, intelligent man.

I cant help listening to Craig's first interview when he was made newly-appointed independent non-executive director :

https://youtu.be/fgf5eg8TAJI?si=6eXWt5D1UhcpEvJf

Craig states he has known Union Jack for a very long time an it is a business he is very familiar with.

He comes from a financial background an chair of Audit Committee

So Craig knew the salaries when he joined the company an has a very good understanding of accounts yet he moans now about the costs??!

Craig saw strong growth after the Andrews well an was clearly excited in this interview an saw real potential in USA

This is evident from Craig's buys at a higher share price but his punt did not pay off with the disappointing result.

I'm not sure where Craig fits in here to take the company forward after the evidence thus far ?
