Wressle Farm-In Agreement - Update
Upland Resources Limited., the oil and gas company actively
building a portfolio of attractive upstream assets, notes the
'Operational Update' announcement issued on 14(th) August 2017 by
Egdon Resources plc ("Egdon Resources") regarding the timing of the
appeal hearing against the January 2017 and July 2017 planning
refusals by North Lincolnshire Council for the Wressle Field
development in North Lincolnshire - and that the appeal hearing is
now expected to take place in November 2017, with a decision likely
early in 2018.
Upland's wholly-owned subsidiary, Upland Resources (UK Onshore)
Limited ("Upland UK"), entered into a conditional agreement dated
24th November 2016 for the farm-in by Upland UK (by way of
assignment from Europa Oil & Gas Limited) to a 10% interest in
each of PEDLs 180 and 182, including the Wressle Field development
(the "Wressle Farm-in Agreement"). Completion of the Wressle
Farm-in Agreement remains conditional on receipt of the relevant
planning approval from North Lincolnshire Council for the Wressle
Field development by a 'long stop' date of 30th September 2017
(following a variation dated 21st February 2017), which condition
may be waived at Upland UK's discretion.
The Upland and Upland UK Boards are currently considering their
positions in relation to the Wressle Farm-in Agreement (which will
involve further discussions with Europa Oil & Gas Limited)
given the timing of the appeal process and will issue a further
announcement when a decision has been reached by the Upland and
Upland UK Boards.
