David Bramhill, Executive Chairman of Union Jack, commented: “We are pleased to be able to announce a further agreement with our partners, Reach, on the high-impact Sark well that on success will be another material oil development project for Union Jack.
“Sark is the next welcome addition to our rapidly growing portfolio of activities in Oklahoma and follows the successful oil discovery at Moccasin where such play types are now designated a high chance of success.
“In just over 15 months the Company has drilled four consecutive discoveries and compiled a portfolio of what we believe to be dynamic projects, forming the foundations of a second valuable commercial business in the US, complementing our sound and profit-making revenues from Wressle in the UK.
“The recent success at Moccasin has been a catalyst and Union Jack is now entering into a period of sustained activity in Oklahoma, where we have every reason to be confident following the Board's decision to expand operations into the US.”
