Turkey: Basur-3 drilling update #2

UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce that following completion of the Basur-3 appraisal well's initial 17½ inch diameter hole section, 13⅜ inch casing has now been set, successfully cemented down to a drilled depth of 367 m (1204 ft) below surface and pressure tested. Following setting of blow out preventers, drilling will then resume in 12¼ inch hole section, the base of which is planned to penetrate the Garzan limestone, the first of two target horizons.

The Basur-3 oil appraisal well is located within the north-western structural culmination of the 60 km² Basur-Resan geological anticlinal structure, approximately 1.2 km north of the 1964 Basur-1 oil discovery well which, as previously reported on 14 October 2020, 15 January 2021, 21 June 2021, flowed oil to surface at encouraging rates over a 6 hour test period.

Basur-3 is the first modern well designed to properly appraise and assess the extent and commercial viability of the Basur-Resan oil pool discovered in the 1950s-1960s.

UKOG Turkey Ltd holds a 50% non-operated interest in B-3 and the surrounding 305 km² Resan M47-b1,b2 licence.

Glossary

anticline	a domed shape geological structure. Often the anticline's geological expression can be seen at surface where it is expressed as a surface anticline. This is the case at Basur-Resan.
discovery	a petroleum accumulation for which one or several exploratory wells have established through testing, sampling and/or logging the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons
limestone	sedimentary rock predominantly composed of calcite (a crystalline mineral form of calcium carbonate or lime) of organic, chemical or detrital origin. Minor amounts of dolomite, chert and clay are common in limestones
oil field	a subsurface oil accumulation existing within a single or multiple geological reservoir unit from which oil is recovered to surface. Note that an oil field can consist of one or more oil pools or distinct reservoirs.
oil pool	a subsurface oil accumulation existing within a single geological reservoir unit.
