Union Jack Oil, a UK focused onshore hydrocarbon production, development and exploration company offers an update in respect of the planning application for the West Newton A well site expansion.

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council Planning Committee has elected to decline the Application. 

Wressle

Union Jack holds an 15% interest in PEDL180 and PEDL182 located in Lincolnshire, on the Western margin of the Humber Basin and is on trend with the producing Crosby Warren oil field and the Brigg-1 oil discovery, situated to the immediate northwest and southeast of the licence respectively.

In July 2014 the Wressle-1 conventional exploration well was spudded. The Wressle-1 Prospect was defined on proprietary 3D seismic data acquired by Egdon in 2012, and the well was drilled as a deviated well to a total depth (TD) of 2,240 metres and was designed to intersect a number of prospective Upper Carboniferous age sandstone reservoirs in a structurally favourable position near the crest of the Wressle structure. Pre-drill gross mean Prospective Resources at Wressle as calculated by Egdon were estimated to be 2.1 million barrels of oil.
