Corallian farmout agreement

Update on Additional Farmed Interest

 
United Oil & Gas Plc (“UOG”, “United” or the “Company”), the London Stock Exchange listed oil and gas exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the extension of an option over the right to purchase an additional farmed interest in the Corallian Energy Limited (“Corallian”) interests in its southern UK oil and gas assets.  
 
On 16 January 2018 United announced it had entered into a farmout agreement with Corallian Energy Limited, a private UK oil and gas appraisal and exploration company.  Under this agreement United agreed to acquire an initial 10 per cent. interest from Corallian in each of three licences held by a joint venture between Corallian (60%) as operator and Corfe Energy Limited (“Corfe”) (40%) offshore and onshore southern UK (“Initial Farmed Interest”), by way of paying 13.33 per cent. of the costs associated with the Colter well, planned for Q2/Q3 2018 (“Costs”). In addition, an option was granted under which United can exercise a right to purchase an additional 10 per cent. interest in these licences (“Additional Farmed Interest”), on the same terms as the Initial Farmed Interest (that is by paying Costs).    
 
This option expired at the end of March 2018, but has been renewed to the end of April 2018 on the same terms whilst the company awaits the transfer of the assigned initial interest from the UK Oil and Gas Authority which is imminent.
