Upland Resources Limited (LSE: UPL) is pleased to announce that the Ensco 72 jack-up rig has now been mobilised from Hartlepool to drill the Wick exploration well in UKCS Block 11/24b under UK Seaward Production Licence P2235.

Background to Upland's interest in the Wick prospect

In November 2017, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Upland Resources (UK Onshore) Limited ("Upland UK"), entered into a conditional agreement with Corallian Energy to farm in to a 40% interest in Licence P2235, containing the Wick prospect. The farm in agreement between Corallian Energy and Upland UK was then completed on 24^th May 2018. 

The Company estimates that the Wick structure, which lies principally in the licensed area of Licence P2235, could hold in-place P50 resources of around 250 MMbbl. The Wick well targets reservoir sequences within the Wick structure.
