UK Oil & Gas PLC
("UKOG" or the "Company")
PEDL234 Loxley drilling commitment deadline extended by two
years
UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce
that the Oil and Gas Authority has granted a two-year extension to
the time period in which the Company's 100% interest PEDL234
Loxley-1 gas appraisal well must commence. In order to satisfy the
licence's Retention Area programme, Loxley-1 drilling must now
commence before 31(st) December 2023.
The drilling extension was granted in response to delays beyond
the Company's control caused by both the pandemic and by the
Company's appeal to the Planning Inspectorate against Surrey County
Council's ("SCC") decision on 15 (th) December 2020 to refuse
planning consent for the Loxley gas appraisal drilling project.
The Company now looks forward to presenting a robust case for
the grant of Loxley planning consent to the Planning Inspector at
the forthcoming public inquiry, due to commence on 27(th) July 2021
.
Senior legal counsel continues to advise that, given SCC's cited
reasons for refusal, there are strong grounds to expect a positive
inquiry outcome for the Company.
UKOG's Statement of Case as submitted to the Planning
Inspectorate in February 2021 as part of the appeal process can be
