PEDL 180 and PEDL 182 Competent Person's Report by ERCE
Upgraded Reserves for the Ashover Grit and Wingfield Flags
Formations
Penistone Flags Contingent Resources Upgrade and
Reclassification to Reserves
Union Jack Oil plc (AIM:UJO), an onshore hydrocarbon production,
development and exploration company, principally focused in the UK,
is pleased to provide its summary of the Competent Person's Report
("CPR" or the "Report") for the Wressle field ("Wressle") and
Broughton North Prospect, dated 31 December 2023, prepared by ERC
Equipoise Ltd ("ERCE" or "Competent Person").
The Executive Summary from ERCE's Report has been published on
the Company's website www.unionjackoil.com.
Union Jack holds a 40% economic interest in PEDL180 and
PEDL182.
HIGHLIGHTS
-- 263% increase in 2P Reserves compared to 2016 CPR
-- Reclassification of 1,883 mboe in Penistone Flags Contingent Resources to 2P Reserves
-- 59% upgrade to the Ashover Grit and Wingfield Flags Estimated Ultimate Recoverable ("EUR")
-- 23% upgrade to Broughton North Prospective 2U Resources
David Bramhill, Executive Chairman of Union Jack commented:
"Based on the information contained within the Wressle CPR, a 263%
increase in 2P Reserves is indicated.
"Today's announcement marks the successful conclusion of the
detailed technical programme that has been undertaken on Wressle
and the wider PEDL180 and PEDL182 licence areas. This comprehensive
programme has involved the reinterpretation of the reprocessed 3D
seismic, integration of the results of the well testing programme
and production data developed in the period to July 2023.
"The additional data and enhanced understanding have led to the
material upgrades in the Reserves of the Ashover Grit, Wingfield
Flags and Penistone Flags, and the increase in Broughton North's
Prospective Resources.
"The increase in Wressle's Reserves vindicates the focus by the
JV partners management of the field's production to maximise
recoverable volumes. This provides further support to the
development approach we have undertaken to date.
"The installation of artificial lift on the Wressle-1 well
marked the start of the next phase of Wressle's development, which
will also focus on the export of gas production to the UK National
Transmission System, recently approved by the JV.
"Following the identification of the material increase in
Reserves and Resources, we look forward to 2024 with enthusiasm,
where we expect to be able to continue to crystallise the potential
additional value of Wressle for the benefit of UJO's
shareholders."
Competent Person's Report
ERCE has made an independent estimate of the hydrocarbon
Reserves and Resources (Contingent and Prospective) associated with
Wressle and the Broughton North Prospect, located in onshore
licences PEDL180 and PEDL182 on the western margin of the Humber
Basin in Lincolnshire.
The CPR was prepared on behalf of the Operator, Egdon Resources
U.K. Limited, Union Jack and Europa Oil & Gas Limited.
In the preparation of the Report, ERCE has adopted the June 2018
SPE/WPC/AAPG/ SPEE/SEG/SPWLA/EAGE Petroleum Resources Management
System ("PRMS") as the standard for classification and reporting. A
glossary of all technical terms used is included in the Report.
ERCE has produced the CPR as at 30 June 2023 (the "Effective
Date"). The Report was based on information provided by the
Operator up to 24 July 2023, which has included updated seismic
interpretations and production data.
Estimates of recovery factors were prepared, based on
consideration of the results of production performance analysis,
reservoir simulation models, classical reservoir engineering
calculations and the performances of analogue fields. ERCE has
derived independent estimates of Reserves and prepared forecasts of
production of oil and gas.
Production profiles have been generated by ERCE for both
Reserves and Contingent Resources. The forecasts generated for
Reserves have then been used as input to an economic model to
undertake an Economic Limit Test ("ELT") and assess commerciality.
The economic model has been provided to ERCE by the Operator and
has been reviewed by ERCE to confirm the fiscal regime is correctly
represented.

Broughton North Oil and Gas Prospective Resources
The Broughton North prospect lies within Licence PEDL180 and is
located immediately northwest of the Wressle field, across a
northeast-southwest trending fault. The majority of the prospect is
covered by the same 3D seismic survey that covers the Wressle
field.
