Union Jack Oil plc
("Union Jack" or the "Company")
Unaudited Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2019
Union Jack Oil plc (AIM: UJO), a UK focused onshore conventional
oil and gas production, development and exploration company, is
pleased to announce its unaudited results for the Half Year ended
30 June 2019.
Highlights
-- The successful drilling of the West Newton A-2 conventional
appraisal well where initial petrophysical evaluation has
identified a gross oil column of 45 metres underlying a gross gas
column of approximately 20 metres within the Kirkham Abbey
formation
-- Following the drilling of the Biscathorpe-2 conventional
well, confirmation by independent consultants Applied Petroleum
Technology (UK) Limited ("APT") of the likely presence of a 35
metre live oil column with API Gravity oil of 33 to 34 in the top
of the Dinantian interval
-- Data evaluated at Biscathorpe at the base of the analysed
section, and wellsite readings, indicate possible additional pay at
the base of the Dinantian interval
-- Union Jack management's view is that Biscathorpe remains one
of the UK's largest onshore un-appraised conventional hydrocarbon
targets
-- On development plans for the Wressle oil discovery, the
encouraging decision by the North Lincolnshire Council that it will
not be presenting evidence at the Public Enquiry to be held on 5
November 2019, and will withdraw its case in respect of the appeal
subject to the agreement of acceptable planning conditions
-- Cash balance of in excess of GBP2.8 million as at 20 September 2019
-- Debt free
David Bramhill, Executive Chairman of Union Jack commented:
"We have seen significant progress at our three key project
interests, namely West Newton, Biscathorpe and Wressle.
Developments at these three assets can be expected to provide an
active stream of newsflow throughout the remainder of 2019 and
beyond.
"At West Newton A-2, the result of the Extended Well Test has
the potential to dramatically transform Union Jack. We anticipate
further progress in our ongoing technical evaluation and appraisal
of the West Newton A-1 and A-2 discoveries in the coming months
that will help us confirm that West Newton is one of the largest
onshore UK oil and gas ventures in recent decades.
"An ongoing technical evaluation at Biscathorpe also has the
potential to identify a material resource with significant upside,
as in the case of West Newton.
"Assuming our appeal at Wressle is supported and production from
Wressle is established, under the current oil price environment,
Wressle would provide material cash flows after project operating
costs net to Union Jack. Bearing in mind Union Jack's modest annual
general and administrative costs, Wressle is expected to convert
Union Jack into a cash flow positive company at the corporate
level.
"The Board remains both confident and optimistic and the future
of Union Jack looks bright."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present this Half Yearly Report for the six
months ended 30 June 2019 to the shareholders of Union Jack Oil plc
("Union Jack" or the "Company").
KEY ACTIVITIES IN THE PERIOD
The past six months, and the subsequent period to the date of
writing this statement, have seen a number of positive events that
augurs well for our strategy and that the Board believes will
assist in delivering material growth in the medium term on our goal
to build a sustainable, UK onshore focused, mid-tier conventional
hydrocarbon producer.
Union Jack holds what the Board considers to be high-value
material project interests with significant upside potential in our
axis areas of the East Midlands, Humber Basin and East
Yorkshire.
We are pleased to report that demonstrable progress has been
made during the period, with the highlights being:
-- The successful drilling of the West Newton A-2 conventional
appraisal well, where initial petrophysical evaluation has
identified a gross oil column of 45 metres underlying a gross gas
column of approximately 20 metres within the Kirkham Abbey
formation
-- Following the drilling of the Biscathorpe-2 conventional
well, confirmation by independent consultants Applied Petroleum
Technology (UK) Limited ("APT") of the likely presence of a 35
metre live oil column with API Gravity oil of 33 to 34 in the top
of the Dinantian interval
-- Data evaluated at Biscathorpe at the base of the analysed
section, and wellsite readings, indicate possible additional pay at
the base of the Dinantian interval.
-- Union Jack management's view is that Biscathorpe remains one
of the UK's largest onshore un-appraised conventional hydrocarbon
targets
-- On development plans for the Wressle oil discovery, the
encouraging decision by the North Lincolnshire Council ("NLC") that
it will not be presenting evidence at the Public Enquiry to be held
on 5 November 2019, and will withdraw its case in respect of the
appeal subject to the agreement of acceptable planning
conditions
-- Cash balance of in excess of GBP2.8 million as at 20 September 2019
-- Debt free
PEDL183 WEST NEWTON A1 AND A2 DISCOVERIES (16.665%)
During late 2018, Union Jack completed a farm-in to licence
PEDL183 located in East Yorkshire and within the Western sector of
the Southern Zechstein Basin, containing the West Newton A-1
discovery, with Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited ("Rathlin" or the
"Operator"), a subsidiary of Canadian registered Connaught Oil and
Gas Ltd.
In April 2019, the West Newton A-2 conventional well was
spudded, targeting the Kirkham Abbey and Cadeby formations. In June
2019, positive preliminary results were reported from the West
Newton A-2 well that was drilled in a safe and competent manner by
the Operator.
The well reached a total depth of 2,061 metres and 28 metres of
core was recovered from the primary target, the Kirkham Abbey
formation, and all planned logging operations were completed.
A gross 65 metre hydrocarbon interval was encountered within the
Kirkham Abbey formation, indicating a substantial hydrocarbon
accumulation, including a significant liquids component.
Based on the previously described data in conjunction with
cuttings analysis and mudlogging data, a cased hole pulsed-neutron
tool was run across the Kirkham Abbey zone as a means to
differentiate between and confirm fluid saturations.
Initial petrophysical evaluation identified a gross oil column
of 45 metres underlying a gross gas column of 20 metres. The West
Newton A-2 well exhibits encouraging porosities on logs and in
core, particularly in the identified oil zone, where in excess of
30 metres of good porosity has been measured. The core also
exhibits natural fracturing which is confirmed by an imaging log
run across the entire Kirkham Abbey interval.
The Operator and joint venture partners now believe that West
Newton represents a potentially significant oil and gas development
project rather than pure gas as originally perceived from
information obtained from West Newton A-1 well and the subsequent
Competent Person's Report ("CPR") prepared by Deloitte.
The Extended Well Test ("EWT") programme has been temporarily
suspended in order to review the well test design to deliver the
necessary test information to validate this important onshore
resource.
Additionally, the West Newton A-2 data provided a good tie to
the high quality three component 3D seismic volume that covers the
entire West Newton project area. This new data allows for a revised
interpretation of the seismic volume incorporating the well and the
newly identified gas over oil gross hydrocarbon volume.
Following the integration and evaluation of the core,
petrophysical, seismic and test data, the Operator and joint
venture partners intend to commission a revised CPR to re-assess
volumetrics and revise NPV10 values based on the information
acquired from the West Newton A-2 well.
PEDL253 BISCATHORPE (22%)
PEDL253 is within the proven hydrocarbon fairway of the South
Humber Basin and is on-trend with the Saltfleetby gasfield,
Keddington oilfield and the Louth and North Somercotes
Prospects.
In February 2019, the Biscathorpe-2 well was drilled and logging
operations were conducted. Preliminary analysis indicated that the
primary objective, the Basal Westphalian Sandstone, was not
encountered as the well was drilled high to prognosis and did not
thicken as expected in the pre-drill model.
Union Jack's independent technical team was greatly encouraged
by the significant elevated gas readings and shows from logging
supported by calculated oil saturations in the Dinantian Carbonate
over an interval in excess of 150 metres, which included a suite of
gas indications C1 to C5 and nC5, which is indicative of an
effective petroleum system in close proximity to the Biscathorpe-2
well.
As a result of these compelling indications of hydrocarbons, the
joint venture commissioned independent consultants APT to perform a
detailed geochemical analysis of drill cutting samples taken from
20 intervals in the Biscathorpe-2 well.
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 confirmed the occurrence of hydrocarbons in the
Westphalian and Dinantian cutting samples analysed, validated by
the presence of a full suite of gases ranging from methane to
pentane.
The key result from the report was the likely presence of a 35
metre live oil column with API Gravity of 33 to 34 in the top of
the Dinantian interval. Additionally, data evaluated at the base of
the analysed section were suggestive of possible extra hydrocarbon
pay at the base of the Dinantian interval.
The information derived from the revised petrophysical analysis
has upgraded the Biscathorpe-2 well result, indicating proximity to
an effective petroleum system, and validates Union Jack's and its
joint venture partners' belief in the additional potential that
exists within the PEDL253 licence area.
Following the drilling of the Biscathorpe-2 well and subsequent
technical analysis, Union Jack management's view is that this
prospect remains one of the UK's largest onshore un-appraised
conventional hydrocarbon targets, given the attractions of the
Basal Westphalian sandstone, its primary target reservoir, and the
hydrocarbons identified within the Dinantian interval.
The joint venture is continuing with detailed seismic
re-processing and further technical studies to confirm the next
steps in relation to a possible side track of the Biscathorpe-2
well.
PEDL180/PEDL182 WRESSLE DISCOVERY (27.5%)
Located in Lincolnshire on the Western margin of the Humber
Basin, PEDL180 and PEDL182 contain the substantial Wressle
conventional oil discovery with proven reserves and significant
upside from contingent resources, from which first commercial oil
is expected to flow at a constrained rate of 500 barrels of oil per
day following successful planning approval.
In July 2019, the joint venture received notification that, in a
closed meeting, a decision was made by the NLC that it will not be
presenting evidence at the Public Enquiry to be held on
5 November 2019, and will withdraw its case in respect of the
appeal subject to the agreement of acceptable planning
conditions.
A Queen's Counsel has been appointed to assist our appeal to
obtain permission for development of this important conventional
oil project.
The Wressle-1 well discovered hydrocarbons in 2014. During
testing, a total of 710 barrels of oil equivalent per day were
recovered from three separate reservoirs, the Ashover Grit, the
Wingfield Flags and the Penistone flags. In September 2016, a CPR
provided independent estimates of reserves and contingent and
prospective oil and gas resources for the Wressle discovery of 2.15
million stock tank barrels classified as discovered (2P+2C).
OTHER PORTFOLIO INTERESTS
Other project interests within the Company's portfolio include
the producing Keddington oilfield, PEDL005(R) (20%), which we
believe has significant upside, including other potential drill
targets that can be easily accessed from the existing production
site. In addition, the producing Fiskerton Airfield oilfield EXL294
(20%) will soon be seeing a workover exercise in order to increase
production.
PEDL241 (20%) contains the drill ready North Kelsey Prospect
which will be drilled during 2020 subject to securing
farminees.
PEDL201 (26.25%) Widmerpool Gulf, formerly Burton on the Wolds,
contains significant Bowland Hodder shale potential where
Management is considering options to generate value from this
licence interest. The favoured outcome from this potentially
significant play type would be through an industry sale.
A comprehensive list of Union Jack's licence interests can be
found within the Half Yearly Report, which can be viewed on the
Company's website www.unionjackoil.com.
CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL
Subsequent to the period under review, the Company, in July
2019, raised GBP2.25 million by way of an oversubscribed placing
and subscription.
The funds raised enabled the Company to move forward on our
potentially transformational three key project interests,
namely:
-- extended well testing at the significant oil discovery at the
West Newton A-2 conventional appraisal well
-- ongoing technical evaluation following drilling of the
Biscathorpe-2 conventional appraisal well and
-- the upcoming appeal on the proposed development of the
material Wressle conventional oil discovery
Union Jack remains debt free and our cash balance stands in
excess of GBP2.8 million as at
20 September 2019.
In June 2019, the Company completed the sale of its 7.5%
interest in PEDL143 to UK Oil & Gas PLC ("UKOG") for a
consideration of GBP112,500. Payment in UKOG shares allows Union
Jack to benefit from UKOG's increased holding in PEDL143 and also
the further exposure to UKOG's wider Weald Basin assets and other
projects.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our supportive
shareholders, my fellow directors and our enthusiastic team of
advisers, all of whom work closely with the Company and assist in
helping us achieve our corporate goal of becoming a sustainable UK
onshore focused mid-tier conventional hydrocarbon producer.
SUMMARY
The period under review and subsequent events since 30 June
2019, have seen significant progress at our three key project
interests, namely West Newton, Biscathorpe and Wressle.
Developments at these three assets can be expected to provide an
active stream of newsflow throughout the remainder of 2019 and
beyond.
At West Newton A-2, the result of the EWT has the potential to
dramatically transform Union Jack. We anticipate further progress
in our ongoing technical evaluation and appraisal of the West
Newton A-1 and A-2 discoveries in the coming months that will help
us confirm that West Newton is one of the largest onshore UK oil
and gas ventures in recent decades.
An ongoing technical evaluation at Biscathorpe also has the
potential to identify a material resource with significant upside,
as in the case of West Newton.
Assuming our appeal at Wressle is supported and production from
Wressle is established, under the current oil price environment,
Wressle would provide material cash flows after project operating
costs net to Union Jack. Bearing in mind Union Jack's modest annual
general and administrative costs, Wressle is expected to convert
Union Jack into a cash flow positive company at the corporate
level.
The Board remains both confident and optimistic and the future
of Union Jack looks bright.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Information
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 JUNE 2019
1 Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
These financial statements are for the six month period ended 30
June 2019.
The information for the year ended 31 December 2018 does not
constitute statutory financial statements as defined in section 434
of the Companies Act 2006.
A copy of the statutory financial statements for that period has
been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Auditor's Report
was not qualified, did not include a reference to any matters to
which the Auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without
qualifying the report and did not contain statements under section
498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
June 2019 are unaudited.
The interim financial information in this report has been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union ("EU") applied
in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention. The principal accounting policies have been
consistently applied to all periods presented.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in
the interim financial statements are consistent with those as
published in the Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements
for the year ended
31 December 2018.
The Company has adopted IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019.
There is no material effect on the Company's financial statements
as the Company does not currently hold any leases.
The Annual Report and Financial Statements are available from
the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office, 6
Charlotte Street, Bath BA1 2NE or on the Company's website
www.unionjackoil.com.
Going Concern
The directors have, at the time of approving the interim
financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting.
2 Loss per Share Attributable to the Equity Shareholders of the Company
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the earnings
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Given the Company's reported loss for the period, warrants are
not taken into account when determining the weighted average of
ordinary shares in issue during the period and therefore the basic
and diluted earnings per share are the same.

3 Taxation
There was no tax charge for the half yearly period due to the
loss incurred. A deferred tax asset in respect of trading losses
and share-based payments has not been recognised due to the
uncertainty of timing of future profits. The trading tax losses are
recoverable against suitable future trading profits.
4 Share Capital
In April 2019, 2,333,333,334 new ordinary shares were issued for
cash at 0.075 pence per share, raising approximately GBP1,750,000
before expenses of GBP153,213 by way of a placing and
subscription.
At 30 June 2019, there were 10,784,043,588 ordinary shares of a
nominal value of 0.025 pence in issue.
At 30 June 2019, there were 831,680,400 deferred shares of 0.225
pence nominal value in issue.
