UK Oil & Gas PLC - oil and gas exploration and production firm with assets focused on the south of England - Secures drilling rig for Pinarova-1 well in Turkey. Will test Eocene Hoya light oil prospect. Expects site construction in seven to 10 days. Says it is fully funded to cover its share of an expected USD400,000 gross dry hole and USD630,000 gross success case costs. Chief Executive Stephen Sanderson says: "Pinarova's prospectivity, potential success case oil volumes and modest drilling costs make it an attractive stand-alone project that could, in the success case, deliver oil production in H1 2023. Given the positive shallow oil seep evidence plus the good light oil shows encountered within Pinarova by the Kezer-1 geothermal well, the new well will seek to establish if that oil is present in commercially viable saturations and volumes that can be pumped to surface. We look forward to the impending start of site construction and subsequent drilling directly upon its completion."
