Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) notes the announcement by government that it will introduce a temporary moratorium on hydraulic fracturing for shale gas.Over the last 6 years Egdon has built a significant acreage position in UK unconventional resources focused on the Gainsborough Trough in Eastern England. The results from the Springs Road-1 well drilled earlier this year, have shown the potential for a world class gas resource in this basin, with analysis indicating gas in place of 640 billion cubic feet of gas per square mile. Each basin and site is different and the Gainsborough Trough is characterised by its simple structure and limited faulting.We note the comment made by Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) Director of Regulation Tom Wheeler who stated that “the OGA believes that further detailed geomechanical analysis would be needed before we could evaluate with confidence whether hydraulic fracturing could resume in the Fylde, or elsewhere, consistent with the Government’s policy aims”. Egdon along with the rest of the industry is fully committed to working closely with the OGA and other regulators to demonstrate that we can operate safely and in an environmentally responsible manner, and we are confident of doing so.We also reiterate the comments of Ken Cronin, Chief Executive of UK Onshore Oil and Gas, the industry body in his response to the announcement; “Since shale gas exploration commenced in England we have confirmed a world-class resource. Flow testing and core sampling across Lancashire and North Nottinghamshire show that our high-quality indigenous gas can reach the surface, leaving the UK with no excuse to continue importing overseas gas that generates double the emissions and provides British workers, businesses and communities with no economic benefit.“As the Committee on Climate Change has stated, there will be a significant need for natural gas in 2050, approximately 70% of our current consumption, to meet our future demand for hydrogen.“The Committee also reiterated in their Net Zero report something any climate change conscious Government should pay heed to: it is essential that we do not simply offshore our emissions – and environmental responsibilities – to other countries.”Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon said;Whilst growth of our unconventional resources asset base has formed an important and successful part of Egdon’s strategy over recent years, it should be remembered that Egdon also has a broad range of conventional oil and gas assets within its diverse portfolio. We expect numerous catalysts across the conventional portfolio in the coming months, including further positive developments relating to today’s announcement of entering an exclusivity agreement with respect to a farmout of the offshore Resolution and Endeavour gas discoveries with a large internationally recognised exploration and production company. We will now take some time to review the detail of the OGA report and the government announcement of a temporary moratorium and its implications for our business before reporting to shareholders in due course. My immediate focus is on presenting our case to the Planning Inspector at the Public Inquiry for the Wressle oil field development which commences tomorrow (5 November 2019) in Scunthorpe and is scheduled to last up to six days.

Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) is pleased to provide an update on the farm-out process in relation to the Resolution and Endeavour gas discoveries in UK offshore licences P1929 and P2304 respectively. Egdon subsidiary, Egdon Resources U.K. Limited (‘ERUK’), is the operator and currently holds a 100% interest in both licences.Following an extensive farm-out process, the Company can announce that ERUK has signed an exclusivity agreement (the “Agreement”) in respect of Licence P1929 and P2304 with a large internationally recognised exploration and production company (the “Counterparty”). Exclusivity has been granted to the Counterparty subject to a definitive farm out agreement or other definitive legal agreement(s) being entered into by 19 January 2020 and completion occurring by 19 April 2020.Given the exclusivity arrangement, discussions and negotiations with other parties have been suspended and the data room closed while the Agreement is in place.In April 2019 we announced the results of a Competent Person’s Report (“CPR”) prepared by Schlumberger Oilfield UK PLC in relation to the Resolution gas discovery. Schlumberger has made independent estimates of mean Contingent Gas Resources of 231 billion cubic feet of gas (“bcf”) with a P90 to P10 range of 100 to 389 bcf, that can be attributed to the Zechstein reservoir in the 1966 gas discovery made by Total in well 41/18-2 (UK)Egdon has previously submitted a request to the Oil and Gas Authority (“OGA”) for an extension to P1929 and P2304 both of which otherwise expire at the end of November 2019 and are hopeful of receiving confirmation from the OGA in respect of these extensions in the near future.Despite entry into the Agreement, no assurance can be provided that a commercial transaction will ultimately be concluded with the Counterparty. The Company will provide further updates in respect of these matters in due course.Commenting, Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon Resources plc, said:“We are delighted to have agreed exclusivity with a large internationally recognised exploration and production company as our preferred partner for Resolution and Endeavour. In our view, the calibre of the proposed partner reflects the upside potential associated with these assets and validates our strategy to add them to our portfolio.  This represents a major step forward for these projects and results from the significant work undertaken by the team over a prolonged period. We look forward to working closely with the Counterparty to progress negotiations and due diligence and will of course update shareholders on progress in due course.”

Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) is pleased to provide an update on production and operations following the end of the Company’s 2018-2019 financial (“FY2019”) on 31 July 2019. The Company’s preliminary results are scheduled to be announced on 19 November 2019.ProductionEgdon’s net production from the Ceres gas field and the Keddington and Fiskerton Airfield oil fields during FY2019 period was 66,364 barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”), at an average of 182 boe per day (“boepd”) (FY2018 12,691 boe, 70 boepd), in line with previously stated guidance. Production recommenced from the Ceres well in late October 2018 following installation of a new flow meter driving a significant increase in production over the previous financial year.Egdon will provide production guidance for the financial year ending 31 July 2020 (“FY2020”) with the preliminary results, but initial guidance for the first half of the financial year is c. 170-180 boepd with Mercury gas backout volumes receivable by Ceres partners ceasing at the end of December 2019.OperationsLicence extensionsEarlier this year Egdon applied for and received a number of onshore licence extensions from the Oil and Gas Authority as follows:

• Continuation of the Second Term of PEDL180 and PEDL182 to August 2021.
• Initial Terms were extended for PEDL143 (to September 2022), PEDL306 (to July 2024), PEDL334 (to July 2024).
• Retention Area licence durations were extended for PEDL191 (to June 2023), PEDL201 (to June 2024) PEDL202 (to June 2023) and PEDL209 (to June 2023).
• PEDL181 was converted to 14th Round terms and passed into the production period.

Springs Road-1On 12 September 2019, Egdon announced the results of the core analysis with combined Bowland shale gas in place of 640 bcf/square mile (“the resource density”). This is more than three times Egdon’s previous external estimates of the mean resource density for the entire Bowland Shale section in PEDL139/140 as reported by ERCE in 2014.The results from this extensive modern dataset demonstrate that the Bowland Shale of the Gainsborough Trough, where Egdon currently holds 82,000 net acres (128 square miles), compares favourably with some of the best US commercial shale plays and is potentially world class.The company looks forward to sharing further data on the well as it becomes available, particularly on the secondary target, the tight gas sands of the Millstone Grit.BiscathorpeFurther detailed technical analysis of the data from the Biscathorpe-2 well reported in July 2019 has upgraded the well results. The results of a revised petrophysical analysis and detailed geochemical analysis of drill cutting samples undertaken by Applied Petroleum Technology (UK) Limited (“APT”) confirmed the likely presence of a 35 metre column, of good quality oil, within the Dinantian interval. This, along with the elevated gas readings and oil shows over an extended interval in the well, are indicative of proximity to an effective petroleum system and validate the potential that exists within the PEDL253 licence area.Subsequent to our last update substantial progress has been made, including the reprocessing of 85 square kilometres of the existing 3D seismic data. The results of the interpretation of these data will be reported on in due course and will inform the next steps for the project which could include a side track of the suspended Biscathorpe-2 well that would target reservoirs in the Westphalian and Dinantian. Any future drilling would require additional consents including planning permission.WressleThe Wressle oil development has the potential to add 150 bopd to the Company’s production. Egdon’s extensively revised development proposals for the Wressle oil discovery were refused planning consent in November 2018, with that refusal appealed in February 2019.The public inquiry in respect of Egdon’s appeal against this refusal will be held between 5 and 13 November 2019. Egdon’s case will be presented by a QC supported by expert witnesses. The timing of the public inquiry has resulted in the company delaying its preliminary results announcement to 19 November 2019.As advised in July 2019, North Lincolnshire Council will no longer present evidence at the public inquiry having withdrawn its case in respect of this appeal following agreement of acceptable planning conditions during August 2019. A decision is expected around the turn of the year. Should approval be forthcoming Egdon will need to discharge all conditions prior to commencing operations and would hope to have first production some six months after a decision.

Egdon Resources plc is pleased to note the announcement made this morning by IGas Energy plc (“IGas”) of its First Half 2019 Results and associated presentation which provides further details of results from the analysis of whole core from the Springs Road-1 (“SR 01”) well on licence PEDL140, in which Egdon holds a 14.5% interest.The IGas release states;“ We mobilised the equipment to our Springs Road development in North Nottinghamshire in early January 2019 and spudded the well on 22 January 2019. In mid-February 2019, we encountered shales on prognosis, at c.2,200 metres depth and drilled through a significant hydrocarbon bearing shale sequence, including the upper and lower Bowland Shale.The well sought to assess three target zones: the Bowland Shale; the Millstone Grit and the Arundian Shale. All three targets were encountered, with 429 metres of hydrocarbon bearing shales encountered within the primary target, the Bowland Shale.IGas acquired 147 metres of core within the Bowland Shale, the first extensive core sample from this basin, which has subsequently been analysed by Stratum Reservoir (formerly Weatherford Labs) in their laboratories in both the UK and the USA.The results from the core analysis are extremely positive and confirm that a significant hydrocarbon resource is present in the Gainsborough Trough.

Egdon Resources plc notes the announcement made this morning by UK Oil & Gas PLC (“UKOG”) concerning a two year extension of PEDL143 in the Weald Basin where Egdon has an 18.4% interest:The UKOG release stated;“UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce that the Oil and Gas Authority (“OGA”) has granted a two-year extension to the initial term of the Company’s operated PEDL143 licence (UKOG 67.5%, northern Weald, “A24” prospect). The initial term will now end on 30 September 2022.PEDL143 “A24” ProspectThe licence lies immediately to the west of the Company’s Horse Hill licences (UKOG 85.635%) and contains the significant “A24” Portland and Kimmeridge oil prospect, a direct geological look-alike to the Company’s Horse Hill oil field, situated on-trend some 8km to the east. Several smaller prospects of similar size to the nearby Brockham Portland oil field have also been identified. Multiple potential new drilling sites outside the nearby Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are under evaluation and drilling is now scheduled to follow directly after the completion of the Company’s 9-well 2019/2020 drilling programme, subject to the grant of necessary regulatory approvals.”

Egdon Resources plc (AIM: EDR) notes the movement in its share price and the speculation surrounding the Wressle Oil Field. As notified on 29 April 2019, the planning inquiry to hear the Company's appeal against the refusal of planning consent for the development of the Wressle Oil Field by North Lincolnshire Council's Planning Committee is scheduled to commence on 5 November 2019.The Company has been advised that following a closed meeting held by North Lincolnshire Council (“NLC”) on 17 July 2019, a decision has been made that NLC will not be presenting evidence at the Public Inquiry and will withdraw its case in respect of this appeal subject to the agreement of acceptable planning conditions.While the Company considers this to be a very positive development, we still need to obtain planning permission via appeal and the Company remains focused on presenting its case for the Wressle development to the independent professional Planning Inspector in November.

TR1 - EGDON RESOURCES PLC - 17 07 2019

Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) is pleased to provide a positive update in respect of the Biscathorpe-2 exploration well drilled in Petroleum Exploration and Development Licence PEDL253, located in Lincolnshire, where Egdon holds a 35.8% interest. The Biscathorpe-2 well is located within the proven hydrocarbon fairway of the Humber Basin, on trend with the Saltfleetby gasfield and the Keddington oilfield which produces oil from a Carboniferous Westphalian aged sandstone reservoir (“Westphalian”) and which was the principal target in the Biscathorpe-2 well. The initial well results were reported on 20 February 2019. During drilling elevated gas readings were recorded from the Westphalian and below this over the total 157 metre Dinantian Limestone interval (“Dinantian”) along with the presence of oil shows (pale white blue cut fluorescence) in both Westphalian and Dinantian cuttings samples. The Biscathorpe-2 well was suspended to allow the option for a future side-track to be made following the re-processing and re-mapping of up to 85 square kilometres of existing 3D seismic data.Since reporting the initial well results, further detailed technical analyses of the data from the Biscathorpe-2 well have been undertaken, including an updated petrophysical evaluation by both Egdon and Union Jack’s petrophysical consultants which focussed specifically on the Dinantian. These petrophysical analyses indicated hydrocarbon saturations of greater than 50% within the upper parts of the Dinantian.Union Jack, Montrose Industries Limited, and Egdon Resources plc, also appointed independent geotechnical consultants, Applied Petroleum Technology (UK) Limited (“APT”), to perform a detailed geochemical analysis of drill cutting samples taken from 20 intervals in the Biscathorpe-2 well, comprising five from the Westphalian and 15 from the Dinantian. The objective of the APT analysis was to provide geochemical evidence for the presence of live hydrocarbons together with an estimate of the likely oil quality (the “APT Report”).The APT Report has confirmed the occurrence of hydrocarbons in the Westphalian and Dinantian cutting samples analysed from the Biscathorpe-2 well. The APT Report also confirmed that the data supports the existence of a significant column of good quality oil ( high API gravity), within the Dinantian, validated by the presence of a full suite of gases ranging from methane to pentane (C1 to C5 and nC5) recorded during drilling, all indicative of a working petroleum system in close proximity to the Biscathorpe-2 well.A sample of oil from the nearby producing Keddington oilfield to the east of PEDL253, was analysed as a benchmark for comparison with the hydrocarbons extracted by APT from the Biscathorpe-2 cutting samples.The key results contained in the APT Report are summarised below:

• Good quality hydrocarbon extracts were obtained from the Westphalian and Dinantian cuttings samples
• All hydrocarbons extracted appear to be non-biodegraded
• The hydrocarbons extracted are comparable to those extracted from a known oil-bearing Westphalian interval (Keddington oilfield)
• APT confirmed the likely presence of a live oil column in the top of the Dinantian interval from approximately 1,980 metres to 2,015 metres (35 metres), with likely residual oil below
• Data evaluated at the base of the analysed section, and wellsite gas readings, are also suggestive of possible additional hydrocarbon pay below 2,133 metres
• API gravity results in the Biscathorpe-2 well intervals were as follows:

Westphalian interval35⁰ APIDinantian interval33-34⁰ APIThe results of the APT Report together with re-processed 3D seismic data will be integrated to inform the direction of any potential future side-track of the Biscathorpe-2 well that would target the Westphalian and Dinantian.Commenting on these positive results Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon, said:“The results of the revised petrophysical analysis and the APT Report have upgraded the Biscathorpe-2 well result, confirming the likely presence of a 35 metre column, of good quality oil, within the Dinantian interval.  This along with the elevated gas readings and oil shows over an extended interval in the well are indicative of proximity to an effective petroleum system and validate the potential that exists within the PEDL253 licence area.The primary target reservoir at Biscathorpe, the Basal Westphalian sandstone, was likely absent at the Biscathorpe-2 location and remains untested by the well. Further technical work is planned, including the reprocessing of the existing 3D seismic data, prior to deciding the next steps for the project which could include a side-track of the suspended Biscathorpe-2 well. “We look forward to updating shareholders further once the results of the 3D reprocessing are finalised.”

Egdon Resources plc is pleased to note the announcement made this morning by IGas Energy plc (“IGas”) which summarises the results from the analysis of whole core from the Springs Road-1 (“SR‑01”) well on licence PEDL140, in which Egdon holds a 14.5% interest.The IGas release states;“IGas is delighted to announce highly encouraging core analysis results from its SR-01 exploration well at Springs Road in North Nottinghamshire. The well is a significant step forward in the development of shale gas in the East Midlands. The Springs Road well was drilled as a vertical, cored exploration well in PEDL140 in North Nottinghamshire in the centre of the Gainsborough Trough basin.  The well sought to assess three target zones: the Bowland Shale; the Millstone Grit and the Arundian Shale.  All three targets were encountered, with 429m of hydrocarbon bearing shales encountered within the primary target, the Bowland Shale.  IGas acquired 147 metres of core within the Bowland Shale, the first extensive core sample from this basin, which has subsequently been analysed by Stratum Reservoir (formerly Weatherford Labs) in their laboratories in both the UK and the USA. The results from core analysis are extremely positive and confirm that a significant hydrocarbon resource is present in the Gainsborough Trough.     

• Total Organic Carbon (TOC): 2 – 7 %, average of c. 3 %
• Thermal maturity (Tmax): Average of 464°C (wet gas to dry gas window)
• Total Porosity: 2 – 9 %, average of 4 %
• Gas Content: 24 – 131 scf/ton, average of 71 scf/ton
• Average Clay Content: c.30 wt.%

The key characteristics of the Bowland Shale in SR-01 compare favourably to commercial shale operations observed in North America such as the Permian and the Marcellus. The core results indicate a mature, organic rich source rock with good porosity confirming favourable gas resource density.  In particular, the low clay content is encouraging and an indication that hydraulic fracturing of the rock should be effective.The analysis conducted will help delineate the resource potential and help refine the subsequent appraisal programme.  IGas, working with its joint venture partners, will now consider the attributes of the data set in order to commence planning for both the appraisal programme and pilot development within the Gainsborough Trough, including redefining the basin model. We intend to make a further announcement and full technical presentation of the results, including comparison with analogous US shale plays in the third quarter of 2019.Commenting IGas CEO, Stephen Bowler, said “This positive dataset is highly promising and materially advances our understanding of the hydrocarbon resources contained within the shales in the Gainsborough trough where IGas holds a large acreage position.  We were particularly pleased with operational performance during drilling leading to the well costs coming in c.20% under budget.The independent Committee on Climate Change recently reported that by 2050 we will still require some 70% of the gas we currently consume but unless we develop our domestic resources, we will need to import 86% of that gas from overseas.  These results demonstrate that within the East Midlands we potentially have the resources to produce gas, creating jobs and tax revenues whilst reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.”Commenting on these results, Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon Resources plc, said:“The results from this extensive modern core dataset demonstrate that the Bowland Shale of the Gainsborough Trough, where Egdon holds 82,000 net acres, compares favourably with some of the best US commercial shale operations and is potentially world class.  We echo IGas’ satisfaction at the speed and cost of drilling which bodes well for future operations.   We look forward to providing investors with a more detailed update during the third quarter of 2019 once these results have been fully assessed and integrated. ”

Egdon Resources plc is pleased to report the main points from the announcement made this morning by IGas Energy plc (“IGas”) as they concern the Springs Road-1­ (“SR-01”) well on license PEDL140, in which Egdon holds 14.5% interest:

• The Springs Road-1 well has reached a total depth of 3,500 metres after encountering all three pre-drill targets – the Bowland Shale, the Millstone Grit and the Arundian Shales.
• A hydrocarbon bearing shale sequence of over 250 metres was encountered within the upper and lower Bowland Shale (as announced on 11 March 2019). In addition, significant gas indications were observed within the Millstone Grit sequence, deeper parts of the lower Bowland Shale and the Arundian shale.
• The cores and wireline logs will now undergo a suite of analysis, the first results of which should be available in the second quarter of 2019 and which will give us further insight into the resource potential and shale characterisation that will be utilised for future appraisal and development of the wider East Midlands area.

• The Springs Road drilling performance has been very encouraging with improved rates of penetration leading to better than anticipated drilling performance and lower costs.

Commenting on the announcement Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon Resources plc, said:“These results from the Springs Road-1 well are highly encouraging, having encountered all three pre-drill objectives and demonstrating the presence of a significant sequence of hydrocarbon bearing shales. We await with anticipation the results of the detailed core and wireline log analysis which will provide additional insight into the resource potential of the Gainsborough Trough where Egdon holds interests in 82,000 net acres. We look forward to updating shareholders in due course.”

Egdon Resources plc notes the announcement made this morning by Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, (“Europa”) on behalf of the operator of the Holmwood Licence PEDL143 (in which Egdon holds an 18.4% interest) that it is in the process of transferring its operatorship of UK onshore licence PEDL143 to UK Oil & Gas Investments plc (‘UKOG’).The Europa release stated;“Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the UK and Ireland focused oil and gas exploration, development and production company, is pleased to announce that it is in the process of transferring its operatorship of UK onshore licence PEDL 143 (‘the Licence’) to UK Oil & Gas Investments plc (‘UKOG’). Europa will continue to hold a 20% interest in the Licence, which is located in the Weald Basin, Surrey, alongside UKOG (40%), Egdon Resources plc (18.4%), Angus Energy plc (12.5%), Union Jack Oil plc (7.5%) and Altwood Petroleum (1.6%).The decision to transfer operatorship of PEDL 143 is based on Europa’s focus on its high impact portfolio of exploration licences in Atlantic Ireland, its existing producing assets onshore UK, and the Company’s pursuit of new ventures in its chosen areas of focus, specifically the Atlantic seaboard, North Africa and NW Europe. With its operational activities centred on the Weald Basin, the Company believes UKOG’s direct experience with, and technical knowledge of the Portland and Kimmeridge plays at the nearby Horse Hill discovery, will help inform a forward plan for the Licence. The transfer of PEDL143 operatorship to UKOG is subject to Oil and Gas Authority consent.”

Egdon Resources plc is pleased to note the announcement made this morning by IGas Energy plc (“IGas”) which summarises the results from the initial phase of drilling operations at the Springs Road­1 (“SR-01”) well on license PEDL140, in which Egdon holds 14.5% interest.The IGas release stated;“IGas is pleased to announce an update regarding the SR-01 well at Springs Road in North Nottinghamshire.Further to our announcement on 15 February 2019, we have now encountered a hydrocarbon bearing shale sequence of over 250 metres, including the upper and lower Bowland Shale. Significant gas indications were observed throughout the shale section and additionally within sands in the Millstone Grit sequence.   A video showing some recovered core from the well effervescing gas when immersed in water can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/dnZDrTLWiyQ and on the website at www.igasplc.comWe have now completed this phase of data acquisition which included the recovery of approximately 150m of shale core and an extensive wireline logging program across the Millstone Grit, and Upper and Lower Bowland Shale. Petrophysical and core analysis is currently being conducted, which will give us further insight into the resource potential and shale characterisation that will be utilised for future appraisal and development of the wider East Midlands area. We will give a further update following the completion of the majority of the analysis in Q2.Having encountered both primary and secondary targets on prognosis we are now drilling into the tertiary target, to prove up the potential for multiple hydrocarbon bearing horizons within the Gainsborough Trough.The rate of drilling at Springs Road has been quicker than anticipated, building on our learnings and operating efficiencies from Tinker Lane.The analysis of the Tinker Lane core samples is still ongoing.Commenting, Stephen Bowler, CEO said:“I am delighted to report that we have recovered high quality hydrocarbon bearing cores at our Springs Road site. The data gathered to date shows that there are significant prospective resources in our East Midlands acreage and is another important step for the UK onshore industry. There is the potential for the gas beneath our feet to contribute materially to the UK energy needs. Gas is important for our energy requirements, not least because over 80% of the homes across the county are heated by gas. These results come at a time when we are importing more and more gas from overseas and could stimulate investment in the East Midlands basin as well as improving the country’s balance of payments.”Commenting on the announcement Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon Resources plc, said:“These initial results from the Springs Road-1 well are highly encouraging for both PEDL140 and the wider potential of Egdon’s extensive licence portfolio in the East Midlands. We now look forward to the results from the drilling of the deeper sequences in the Springs Road-1 well over the coming weeks and the detailed analysis of the core and log data acquired to date in the coming months. However, these positive results from Springs Road-1 when added to those from Tinker Lane-1 appear to validate our strategic focus on the Gainsborough Trough where the Company holds interests in 82,000 net acres.It is clear from these and other recent results that UK onshore gas has the potential to reduce the UK’s increasing dependency on gas imports over the coming decades, with both economic and environmental benefits to the country.”Link to Gainsborough Trough page
