United Oil & Gas has announced the spudding of the ASH-3 development well, onshore Egypt, with the Company looking to build on the outstanding success of the ASH-2 and El Salmiya-5 wells. The ASH-3 well will target the producing Alam El Bueib (AEB) reservoirs in an area updip of the prolific ASH-2 well and take up to 60 days to drill and test. The ASH- 3 well represents the first in a multi-well exploration/development drilling programme scheduled for 2021. United has also announced the completion and commencement of gas production through the ASH gas pipeline. The pipeline will increase recovery rates and reduce the need to flare gas from the ASH-2 well – significantly improving the environmental performance of the licence. Over the first two days of production, the ASH gas pipeline delivered an average of 1.2MMscf/d (240boepd) net to United. We maintain our price target at 21.2p/share, a 607% premium to the current share price, and reiterate our BUY recommendation
