UKOG completes drilling pad-access road for Pinarova-1

UK Oil & Gas plc has completed construction of the drilling pad and access road for the Pinarova-1 shallow oil exploration well on the Resan licence in Turkey.

PROGRAMME

The 50-50 joint venture with operator Aladdin Middle East expects to mobilise the drilling rig to the site and start drilling in the first half of April to a total depth of 500 to 550 metres below surface.

Pinarova-1, located 6 km north of the Basur-1 oil discovery, is designed to test whether the active 41.7˚ API light oil seep found in July 2022 is directly fed by and connected to a 9km2 underlying light oil accumulation within Eocene Hoya group limestones.
