U S Oil and Gas : .S. Oil & Gas Plc. - Reslts of Drilling

U.S. Oil & Gas Plc, ('USOIL' or the 'Company'), the oil and gas exploration company with assets in Nevada, announces that the Eblana-9 well in Hot Creek Valley, Nevada did not encounter commercial hydrocarbons and is being plugged and abandoned.

The Eblana-9 well was drilled to a total depth of 5,250 ft., reaching target depth at 17.00 local time (PT) on 05 December 2020. The well penetrated three potential zones targeted as objectives. There was evidence of hydrocarbon migration above the cap rock in the microfractures. However, there was no evidence of migration in the targeted zones.

The Eblana-9 well was drilled safely and efficiently and within budget. Net expenditure on the well is expected to be approximately $670,000. Operations were conducted by Major Oil Intl., a wholly owned subsidiary of US Oil and Gas Plc.

Brian McDonnell, CEO of US Oil and Gas said, 'We are extremely disappointed with the outcome of the Eblana-9 drill. However, we still believe there is a working oil system on our lease acreage in Hot Creek Valley. Following the conclusion of operations, we will be closely analysing the the data collected from the well before deciding on our future direction. Amongst the options considered will be a seismic study to assess prospects in the West Play carbonates, believed to be independent of the oil system in the East.

'While this is not the hoped-for outcome, our efficient drilling and careful risk management successfully contained cost and resulted in low financial exposure. The Board and our technical team will now consider ways to take the Company forward. '
