Company News Union Jack Oil* (UJO LN) 3.4p, Market Cap £5.0m: Crossroads well to spud next week • Union Jack announced that the operator, Reach Oil & Gas, expects to spud the Crossroads prospect (43% WI) located in Oklahoma on or around 16 April 2026, which has an estimated pre-tax NPV10 of $11.6m net based on $65/bbl. • The well targets a 100 acre four-way dip closed structure mapped on 3D seismic in the prolific Oil Creek Sand, which the operator estimates has 1.67mb prospective resources over multiple target zones and a 40% Chance of Success. • The Company commented that its share of the drilling costs have already been funded, which were previously guided at $1.0m net to drill, complete and develop the well. The Crossroads well is a relatively medium-risk well identified on 3D seismic that looks to replicate the prior success at the Mocassin-1 discovery in Oklahoma, which has de-risked this play type for Union Jack and its local partner in the US. Despite the recent disappointment from the results of the first well in the current drilling campaign on the Sark prospect, on success the Company expects to be able to bring the wells onstream quickly and pay out within one year at $65/bb on success. While progression of the UK portfolio has been impeded in recent years, the potential revenues from an expansion at the producing Wressle field and the proposed development of West Newton are also expected to be material to the Company. We expect positive well results to set the tone for a Union Jack re-rating, as well as provide additional production and cash flows to recycle back into further organic growth opportunities within the current portfolio. *SP Angel acts as Nomad and Corporate Broker to Union Jack Oil plc
