Egyptian Receivable, Jamaica
and Corporate Update
United Oil & Gas Plc (AIM: "UOG"), the
oil and gas company with a high impact exploration asset in Jamaica
and a development asset in the UK provides an update before the
Christmas period.
Egyptian
Receivables
The UOG CEO met with the CEO of EGPC on the
12th November and received confirmation that the
$620,000 receivable, as previously announced on 31 October 2024,
was expected to be paid imminently. While funds have not yet been
received, discussions remain active, and the Company is taking all
necessary steps to secure prompt resolution. An update will be
provided to the market as soon as funds are received.
Jamaica Farm
Out Update
The Company was engaged in discussions with
selected parties, but those discussions have been suspended until
the new year. We also continue to explore potential interest
from other parties, but we don't expect those discussions to
progress further until the new year either.
Corporate
Update
The Company is taking a prudent approach to
costs. We are currently reviewing our cost structure and we plan to
implement significant reductions effective immediately. As part of
this effort, all costs will be cut to a bare minimum. These
measures are being taken in order to maximise existing cash
balances in case there are further delays in receivables from EGPC
and until a potential farm out has progressed.
Brian Larkin, United Chief Executive Officer
commented:
"We are
continuing to engage with EGPC to secure our receivables due. In
parallel, the Company has had to make some decisions to maximise
our cash resources. With this in mind, we plan to significantly
reduce the Company's cost base to absolute essential outgoings
only, in order to maximise the chances of securing a potential
farmout agreement within the constraints of our limited funds and
timeframe."
