We have also held LOGP & PVR (we are holding both, LOGP & PVR, at present), On & Off, flashgarden,.....the RNS ( dated 04 February 2022 https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/LOGP/barryroe-update/15316686 ) indicates, that the Barryroe Lease Undertaking, is now essential:

" Award of a Lease Undertaking is an essential precursor to returning to active operations and moving the project forward".

"An area up-dip of the 48/24-10z well was identified as optimal for appraisal and this was designated the K area. A site survey was acquired successfully in November 2021 over the K area, with the work completed on time and under budget."

Steve Boldy, CEO of Lansdowne Oil & Gas, commented:
"These new studies have indicated that an oil development of the core area of Barryroe through both the Phase 1A and 1B developments, could deliver c. 20,000 bpd of oil (gross). This equates to around 15% of Ireland's current oil consumption, which continues to run at around 130,000 bpd of oil, 100% of which is currently imported. Such indigenous oil production would have a much lower carbon footprint than imported oil and would increase security of supply in these uncertain times.
Encouragingly, despite more conservative assumptions on the number of wells required and potential flow rates in the RPS CPR, the project economics of the Phase 1A and 1B developments remain robust under a Brent Oil Price assumption of US$68 per barrel in 2027, rising to $70/bbl in 2028 and 2029 and inflated at 2% per annum thereafter that Lansdowne considers conservative in Iight of the current energy price environment.
Lansdowne also highlights that the RPS CPR has only addressed the oil in the Basal Wealden A Sand, which allows it to be corelated to the earlier work carried out by NSAI. Gas was proven in the Basal Wealden C Sand reservoir in the 48/24-10z well that overlays the oil reservoir and this has previously been estimated to hold a potential gas resource of c 400 BCF GIIP. Lansdowne believes this significant gas resource could make a vitally important contribution to Ireland's energy mix as it transitions to a zero net carbon economy and it is anticipated that any future phased development programme will include consideration of this important gas resource.
In order to help identify the separate oil and gas potential in the K area, it is expected that the future appraisal well will address both the A and the C Basal Wealden Sand reservoirs respectively. "
Good RNS, looking forward to "Barryroe Lease Undertaking" being Awarded,....followed, in due course, by a 2023 appraisal well drill.
