("Europa" or the "Company")
PEDL 180 and PEDL 182 Competent Person's Report
Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the AIM quoted UK, Ireland
and West Africa oil and gas exploration, development and production
company, is pleased to provide summary details from a Competent
Person's Report ("CPR" or the "Report") for the Wressle field
("Wressle") and Broughton North Prospect, dated 31 December 2023,
prepared by ERC Equipoise Limited ("ERCE" or the "Competent
Person").
ERCE's summary of the findings of the Wressle CPR has been
published on the Company`s website www.europaoil.com
Europa holds a 30% economic interest in PEDL180/182. All figures
are in gross terms, unless otherwise stated.
HIGHLIGHTS
-- 263% increase in 2P Reserves compared to 2016 CPR
-- Reclassification of 1,883 mboe in Penistone Flags Contingent Resources to 2P Reserves
-- 59% upgrade to the Ashover Grit and Wingfield Flags Estimated Ultimate Recoverable ("EUR")
-- 23% upgrade to Broughton North Prospective 2U Resources
Wressle Competent Person's Report
ERCE has made an independent estimate of the hydrocarbon
Reserves and Resources (Contingent and Prospective) associated with
Wressle and the Broughton North Prospect, located in onshore
licences PEDL180 and PEDL182 on the western margin of the Humber
Basin in Lincolnshire.
The CPR was prepared on behalf of Egdon Resources U.K. Limited
(the "Operator") , Union Jack Oil plc and Europa.
In the preparation of the Report, ERCE has adopted the June 2018
SPE/WPC/AAPG/ SPEE/SEG/SPWLA/EAGE Petroleum Resources Management
System ("PRMS") as the standard for classification and reporting. A
glossary of all technical terms used is included in the Report.
ERCE has produced the CPR with an effective date of 30 June
2023. The Report was based on information provided by the Operator
up to 24 July 2023, which has included updated seismic
interpretations and production data.
Estimates of recovery factors were prepared , based on
consideration of the results of production performance analysis,
reservoir simulation models, classical reservoir engineering
calculations and the performances of analogue fields. ERCE has
derived independent estimates of Reserves and prepared forecasts of
production of oil and gas.
Production profiles have been generated by ERCE for both
Reserves and Contingent Resources. The forecasts generated for
Reserves have then been used as input to an economic model to
undertake an Economic Limit Test ("ELT") and assess commerciality.
The economic model has been provided to ERCE by the Operator and
has been reviewed by ERCE to confirm the fiscal regime is correctly
represented.

Broughton North Oil and Gas Prospective Resources
The Broughton North prospect lies within Licence PEDL180 and is
located immediately northwest of the Wressle field, across a
northeast-southwest trending fault. The majority of the prospect is
covered by the same 3D seismic survey that covers the Wressle
field.

Will Holland, Chief Executive Officer of Europa, said:
"I'm very pleased to announce the material 263% upgrade in 2P
reserves at Wressle, which marks the completion of an extensive and
detailed independent technical evaluation of Wressle and the
surrounding prospectivity. The ERCE evaluation included the
reprocessed 3D seismic and the historical production performance at
Wressle, which has refined the original 2016 CPR and has led to the
significant upgrades in the recoverable reserves of the Ashover
Grit, Wingfield Flags and Penistone Flags, and the increase in
Broughton North's Prospective Resources. With NSTA approval for the
FDP, I look forward to updating the market during 2024 as we seek
to progress the field development and continue to realise the value
of the field."

recoverable
from known accumulations by application of development projects, but which are
not currently
considered to be commercially recoverable owing to one or more contingencies.
Estimate Ultimate Recoverable ("EUR") Those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially
recoverable
plus those quantities that have been already produced. For clarity, EUR must
reference the
associated technical and commercial conditions for the resources; for example,
proved EUR
is Proved Reserves plus prior production.
