   2.       Expressed as total water produced divided by total fluid (oil and water) production 
   3.       Pressure reported is the monthly minimum from well downhole gauge 

The 22(nd) cargo of Lancaster oil, totalling approximately 512 Mbbls, was lifted in early May 2021.

As of 7 June 2021, Lancaster was producing 11,020 bopd from the P6 well alone with an associated water cut of 31%. On 8 June 2021, the electric submersible pump ("ESP") in the P6 well tripped causing the well to be shut in. The well is currently on natural flow while the cause of the trip is investigated and the ESP's electrical system is tested ahead of an attempt to restart the ESP. Further announcements will be made in due course.
