Turkey: Basur-3 drilling update #2

UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce that following completion of the Basur-3 appraisal well's initial 17 1/2 inch diameter hole section, 133/8 inch casing has now been set, successfully cemented down to a drilled depth of 367 m (1204 ft) below surface and pressure tested. Following setting of blow out preventers, drilling will then resume in 12 1/4 inch hole section, the base of which is planned to penetrate the Garzan limestone, the first of two target horizons.

The Basur-3 oil appraisal well is located within the north-western structural culmination of the 60 km(2) Basur-Resan geological anticlinal structure, approximately 1.2 km north of the 1964 Basur-1 oil discovery well which, as previously reported on 14 October 2020, 15 January 2021, 21 June 2021, flowed oil to surface at encouraging rates over a 6 hour test period.

Basur -3 is the first modern well designed to properly appraise and assess the extent and commercial viability of the Basur-Resan oil pool discovered in the 1950s-1960s.

UKOG Turkey Ltd holds a 50% non-operated interest in B-3 and the surrounding 305 km(2) Resan M47-b1,b2 licence.

Glossary

 
 anticline   a domed shape geological structure. Often the 
              anticline's geological expression can be seen 
              at surface where it is expressed as a surface 
              anticline. This is the case at Basur-Resan. 
 discovery   a petroleum accumulation for which one or several 
              exploratory wells have established through 
              testing, sampling and/or logging the existence 
              of a significant quantity of potentially moveable 
              hydrocarbons 
            --------------------------------------------------- 
 limestone   sedimentary rock predominantly composed of 
              calcite (a crystalline mineral form of calcium 
              carbonate or lime) of organic, chemical or 
              detrital origin. Minor amounts of dolomite, 
              chert and clay are common in limestones 
            --------------------------------------------------- 
 oil field   a subsurface oil accumulation existing within 
              a single or multiple geological reservoir unit 
              from which oil is recovered to surface. Note 
              that an oil field can consist of one or more 
              oil pools or distinct reservoirs. 
            --------------------------------------------------- 
 oil pool    a subsurface oil accumulation existing within 
              a single geological reservoir unit.
