United Oil & Gas PLC CEO, Brian Larkin, said: 
"We are delighted to take this next step in our growth as a PLC. In the short time since our establishment in 2015 and initial listing in 2017, United has created a portfolio of assets which I believe will deliver exceptional value for our shareholders. The move to AIM will not only reduce costs and use of management resources but will also assist us in undertaking the kind of value-adding transactions that will significantly grow our business. I would like to thank our shareholders for their support to date and look forward to updating them on our licences in the UK, Italy and Jamaica, beginning with the Colter well result in the coming weeks."
