Three groundwater monitoring boreholes have been installed at the Horse Hill oil site in Surrey, the owner UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) has announced.
In a statement to investors, the company said the boreholes were part of plans for water reinjection at the site.
UKOG said three months of baseline water testing in the boreholes was now underway before reinjection could begin.
The company’s chief executive, Stephen Sanderson, said the test boreholes were key to using the Horse Hill-2z well for water reinjection.
Horse Hill got permission to reinject water from the Environment Agency and industry regulator in May 2022. Planning permission was granted in September 2019 – but part of this decision is due to be challenged at the Supreme Court in June 2023.
