We have moved from patience30 Mar 2022 10:23
In waiting for the company to actually start making money, to patience now in waiting for the profit increases and the additional revenue streams that can be brought online quickly and economically. It's a totally different ball game now for investors, this is a company that offers a lot more safety than many on AIM. Strong cash balance, excellent assets in the portfolio and minimal chance of a placing, which to any AIM investor is a reason to invest.
Wressle is obviously becoming the jewel on Union Jacks crown, it seems to be getting better and better and I believe we will be seeing not just one well producing from the Ashover Grit but subsequent production from other zones. West Newton is the unknown here, lab tests have shown it is a prospect that can produce, will it? Personally I would not be writing this off. It would have been easy to walk away from this when the drilling finished and there was no flow to talk about, but the JV partners have achieved the planning permission to proceed and the question is why carry on if there was no possibility of any positive outcome? I think they will get some gas out, prove it up and sell it off. There is as mentioned in the planning meeting, interest from third parties. It could well be a case of drill, flow and sell which would be a fantastic outcome for UJO. Biscathorpe remains an exciting opportunity and the appeal is due to be submitted imminently, there is a much stronger case now for passing this and throw in Keddington side track, I really do see a pound here this year. That is a reasonable prediction based on what we know about Wressle alone.
