Upland believes that a modern high-angle well in the Hardstoft structure could access reserves over a much larger area than can have been seen by the original wells. Details of the prospectivity of Block SK46c are set out in the Prospectus. In summary, an independent Competent Person's Report ("CPR") prepared by Blackwatch Petroleum Services Limited ("Blackwatch") on behalf of Upland estimates there to be 3.10 MMbbl of contingent resource plus 3.65 MMbbl prospective resource (making a total of 6.75 MMbbl resource) in the broader Hardstoft structure alone, all sitting in Block SK46c and on a 'best' or central case basis. Total Hardstoft resource net to Upland, based on Blackwatch's CPR, is estimated at 1.125 MMbbl. Blackwatch estimates the chance of success for the contingent resource at 80% and 64% for the prospective resource. The Company estimates its interest in Hardstoft alone to be worth about 2.2p/share on a risked basis.
