Operational update

Shallow wells

In February 2022 we produced at the rate of 2,396 bopd.

Work continues at Well 142, where testing was interrupted by the shut down at the BNG Contract Area in early January. Preparatory work also continues to drill the first horizontal well on the South Yelemes structure.

Deep Wells

At Deep Well A8, we perforated the first of the three intervals of interest, which resulted in oil flows at approximately 100 bopd. We are preparing to perforate a second interval later this month.

Impact of sanctions on Russia

To date we have not experienced any material adverse impact from the sanctions imposed on Russia.

Comment: Clive Carver, Chairman said

"With oil prices at record levels and increasing production volumes we look forward to a period of cash generation. Accordingly, we intend to put resolutions to the Annual General Meeting planned for June 2022, which if passed and if approved by the UK Court, would allow the commencement of dividends with an initial dividend expected to be declared in July 2022 and with the main dividend for the year expected to be declared in December 2022."
