And now for the good news.
"Forward Strategy
Given the promising positive outlook derived from the Company's Basur Phase 1 seismic programme, plus the confirmation from the oil seep that the area has an active light oil petroleum system, the Company's focus for the forthcoming 6-9 months will be firmly upon the delivery of Phase 2 seismic and a new Basur appraisal well, now anticipated to be able to add near-term oil production to the Company in H1 2023, subject to necessary funding. As previously stated, the Petroleum Law enables a successful oil well in Turkiye to be put into full time production within days to weeks of a successful test.
AME's desire to shoot new unbudgeted Phase 2 seismic before continuing the Basur appraisal drilling programme (as per UKOG's 30th June RNS), combined with a longer than expected seismic acquisition period over winter, has both required additional previously unbudgeted working capital and deferred the start of the anticipated cash flow from a successful Basur well. The Company will, therefore, need to seek further finance before mid Q4 2022 to fund this planned programme and for general working capital purposes. Success at Basur is anticipated to provide additional working capital to help fund UKOG's other significant projects which, by their nature, have a longer lead time to cash generation.
With respect to the June 7th 2022 grant of planning consent for the Company's 100% owned Loxley gas appraisal project the Company will now implement a pre-planned farmout programme, whereby the Company's costs would be either fully or part carried by any farminee. The Company believes that this is the most prudent course of action to both manage uncertainty and to help ensure the best use of the Company's working capital."
