AIM-listed United Oil & Gas, the oil and gas company with a high impact exploration asset in Jamaica and a development asset in the UK, has provided the following operational update to shareholders.
TDI-Brooks International has advised the Company that their current work programme has been completed and the R/V Gyre is now undertaking pre-mobilisation preparations in Trinidad ahead of its upcoming work programme for United. They are guiding that the vessel will commence mobilisation during the next week for United's planned offshore piston coring and surface geochemical survey on the Walton Morant Licence, offshore Jamaica.
The offshore survey programme will include multibeam echo sounder (MBES) mapping, heat-flow measurements and the collection of seabed piston cores, designed to confirm the presence of thermogenic hydrocarbons and further de-risk the basin.
United continues to coordinate closely with TDI-Brooks and the relevant Jamaican authorities in preparation for mobilisation. A further update will be provided to shareholders once mobilisation from Trinidad has occurred and the vessel is en-route to Jamaica.
Brian Larkin, CEO of United Oil & Gas, commented:
'We are pleased that the R/V Gyre has completed its prior survey programme and is now preparing to mobilise for United. We continue to work closely with TDI-Brooks and the relevant authorities as we move toward mobilisation, and we look forward to providing a further update once the vessel departs Trinidad.'ginal announcement link
