Comment: Galileo is serving up the kind of newsflow which underlines that recent weakness towards the 1p level has been overdone.

UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) announced that a new Competent Person’s Report has been completed on the Horndean field (UKOG 10% non-operated interest) by Dallas, Texas based DeGolyer & MacNaughton. The company said although UKOG has a modest interest in Horndean, the CPR amply demonstrates that it continues to provide valuable earnings for the company. It concurs with the operator that the new pump upgrade should improve production rates, lower operating costs and, if oil prices remain around their current levels, potentially make Horndean more profitable than in 2022.
Comment: It would appear that with Horndean it can be said that UKOG has at least a meaningful additional string to its bow in terms of its portfolio.
