P2170 "Verbier" Licence Extension
Jersey Oil & Gas (AIM: JOG), an independent upstream oil and gas company
focused on the UK Continental Shelf region of the North Sea, is pleased to
announce that the North Sea Transition Authority has approved an extension to
the Second Term of the P2170 "Verbier" licence.
Further to the recently announced extension of the P2498 "Buchan" licence, the
Second Term of the P2170 licence has been extended by three years to 29 August
2026. The extension was requested in order to provide the licensees with the
time required to prepare a Field Development Plan for the Verbier discovery,
as part of a phased Greater Buchan Area ("GBA") development plan. The first
phase of the planned GBA work programme involves re-development of the Buchan
field, with the start-up of production targeted for 2026.
