("UKOG" or the "Company")
Update on Holmwood Licence (PEDL 143), Weald Basin, UK
UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) notes the following
announcement made today by Europa Oil and Gas (Holdings) plc on
behalf of the operator of the Holmwood Licence PEDL143, of which
UKOG holds 40% interest:
"Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the UK and Ireland focused
oil and gas exploration, development and production company,
announces that it has been notified by the Head of Estates at the
Forestry Commission that the Minister for the Environment, Food and
Rural Affairs, has decided not to renew the lease at Bury Hill
Wood, Coldharbour Lane, Surrey. Bury Hill Wood is the proposed site
for a temporary exploration well to test the conventional Holmwood
prospect on licence PEDL 143 in the Weald Basin, Surrey. The lease
expires on 12th September 2018.
Following the Minister's decision, the Company, on behalf of its
partners, will be withdrawing its planning application to drill the
Holmwood prospect from the Bury Hill Wood site.
PEDL 143 has recently been extended until 30th September 2020,
and in addition to the established Portland sandstone reservoir,
contains the Kimmeridge Limestone which, following success at the
nearby Horse Hill discovery, is an emerging play in the Weald
Basin. The Company, with its partners, intends to undertake a full
evaluation of alternative sites from which to target the Holmwood
prospect, and other plays in the licence."

Stephen Sanderson, UKOG's Chief Executive, commented:
"The decision by the Minister for the Environment, Food and
Rural Affairs, is disappointing, but not altogether surprising. As
the Leith Hill Site was less than ideal, we now welcome the
opportunity to plot a new way forwards to drill both the Holmwood
prospect and other nearby prospective Kimmeridge targets in the
near future."
