Wressle Update

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the AIM traded UK, Ireland and Morocco focused oil and gas exploration, development, and production company, notes the update by Operator Egdon Resources U.K. Limited ("Egdon") which announces that the North Sea Transition Authority ("NSTA") has approved the Field Development Plan for the Wressle oilfield in North Lincolnshire, held under licences PEDL180 and PEDL182 (the "Licences"), where Europa holds a 30% interest.

The NSTA has also approved the Licences entering their production phase, which will continue through to 2039.

Simon Oddie, CEO, said :

"The NSTA's approval of the Field Development Plan ensures the Wressle project remains on track to transition from an extended well test to production. Wressle continues to exceed our expectations, generating high levels of production and revenues, with the Wressle-1 well currently amongst the most productive in the onshore UK, producing over 170,000 barrels of oil to date.

Our next steps involve advancing the development plan and consenting process to enable production from the Penistone Flags reservoir where gross Mid-case Contingent Resources of 1.53 million barrels of oil and 2 billion cubic feet of gas have been independently reported, in addition to progressing gas monetisation and continuing to optimise oil and gas production from the Ashover Grit reservoir.

Leveraging the knowhow and experience of our technical team, we are committed to capitalising on the significant opportunities that exist at the field, alongside our joint venture partners Egdon and Union Jack Oil."

Notes to Editors

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc has a diversified portfolio of multi-stage hydrocarbon assets which includes production, development and exploration interests, in countries that are politically stable, have transparent licensing processes, and offer attractive terms. Production in the half-year to 31st January 2022 was 208 boepd. The Company holds two exploration licences offshore Ireland, which have the potential to host gross mean un-risked prospective resources of 1.5 trillion cubic feet ('tcf') gas. Inishkea is a near field gas prospect in the Slyne Basin which the Company classifies as lower risk due to its close proximity to the producing Corrib gas field and associated gas processing infrastructure. In September 2019, Europa was awarded a 75% interest in the Inezgane permit offshore Morocco. Initial results of technical work have identified 30 prospects and leads that have the potential to hold in excess of one billion barrels of unrisked oil resources. In December 2021, Europa announced a collaboration between Baker Hughes and CausewayGT to conduct a geothermal clean heat project at the Company's West Firsby field. If this project is successful it will prove the operational ability to extract and use geothermal heat from the site.
