Isle of Wight

Licence number: PEDL331 Onshore 14th Round  
UKOG interest: 65%

The January 2016, Xodus' independent report allocated a gross mean aggregated oil in place of 227 million barrels ("MMbbl") to the onshore Arreton oil discovery and associated Arreton South and North satellite prospects. Recoverable gross 2C Contingent Resources were calculated as 15.7 MMbbl, with 10.2 MMbbl net to UKOG. The Company holds a 65% interest in PEDL331.

Arreton site selection and regulatory permitting activities are now underway to permit a planned appraisal drilling campaign in the first half of 2019.

UKOG has estimated unrisked gross STOIIP for the M Prospect. Probabilities of success have also been estimated. Two alternatives are shown, for the Triassic being either oil or gas charged.

UKOG commissioned Xodus Group to provide an independent evaluation of the OIP and recoverable resources for the Arreton discovery (UKOG 65%). Xodus concluded that the Arreton-2 undeveloped oil discovery (Arreton Main), and the adjacent low-risk Arreton North and South Prospects (Arreton Prospects) contain an aggregate gross P50 OIP of 219 MMbbl, within Purbeck, Portland and Inferior Oolite limestone reservoirs. 

Xodus calculated that Arreton Main contains net P50 contingent resources of 10.2 MMbbl, The Arreton Prospects are calculated to contain net P50 prospective resources of6.8 MMbbl, solely within the Portland reservoir unit.
