This acquisition completed on 27 October 2017.Commenting on the sale, Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon Resources plc, said:“We are pleased to welcome Union Jack as a partner on the Fiskerton Airfield Oil Field.  We have elected to sell a minority interest in the field to manage our overall financial exposure to the asset going forward and to enable evaluation of the up-side at minimal cost through the carried seismic reprocessing. As we stated back in July 2017 the field has suffered from a lack of investment over recent years and we plan to undertake simple low-cost workovers to enhance production and profitability in the short-term, adding valuable near-term cash-flow to Egdon’s portfolio. In the longer term, the reprocessed 3D seismic will inform our views on the potential to enhance productivity through in-fill drilling.”
