Executive Chairman of Union Jack, David Bramhill, commented: "The revenues of in-excess of US$8,000,000 from the Wressle development continue to bolster the Company's Balance Sheet.
"Since the last production update published during June 2022, another impressive production performance from the Wressle-1 well has been recorded and the trend remains positive.
"Cash balances are expanding significantly on a monthly basis, and we are funded for G&A, OPEX and contracted or planned CAPEX costs, including any drilling activities for at least the next 12 months.
"The Gaffney Cline report continues to be updated and upgraded to reflect increased production rates and also incorporate other ongoing positive reservoir modelling and production profiling exercises into its final analysis.
"Since Gaffney Cline commenced their report, oil production at Wressle has increased by circa 45% and, accordingly their report is being updated to reflect these new positive developments and is now using a reference date of 30 June 2022.
"In addition, Gaffney Cline are compiling three illustrative production scenarios for the Wressle oilfield, indicating average oil production plateaus for the low, medium and high cases, showing the conceptual production curves in each case for the remaining planning period of 13 years.
"Gaffney Cline have also been instructed to comment on any possible untapped resources at the Wressle-1 well that may be present. The report is currently being finalised and the results will be announced in due course."
