ASX / Media Announcement

25 September 2019

Horse Hill-1 and Horse Hill 2/2z Operational Update

Doriemus Plc (ASX: DOR) ("Doriemus" or the"Company"), announces that it has been informed by UK Oil & Gas Plc ("UKOG"), the majority owner of Horse Hill Developments Limited ("HHDL"), the operator of Horse Hill licences PEDL 137 and PEDL 246 in which Doriemus has a 2.6% interest, of the following operational update:

  • Operations have commenced for the new HorseHill-2/2z("HH-2/2z") Portland horizontal well. The start of physical drilling operations or "spud" is expected following completion of the rig-up process and will be reported in due course.
  • Drilling will commence with theHH-2 vertical pilot programme and will be followed directly by the horizontal well section, HH-2z, with a planned trajectory of around 1000m wholly within the Portland reservoir.
  • Drilling operations are expected to be completed in a total of around 60 days. TheHH-2z horizontal will then be tested using a bespoke downhole electric pump, or ESP.
  • Immediately prior to rig arrival, test production from the Kimmeridge oil pool at the HorseHill-1 oil discovery was temporarily shut-in to permit a safe rig-up process and will be resumed prior to the pilot hole spud. Kimmeridge test production is planned to continue throughout the drilling campaign.
  • Before the currentshut-in, Kimmeridge test production totalled 39,205 barrels ("bbl") of dry Brent quality crude, with average daily rates of up to 307 bbl of oil per day recorded following the resumption of production on 12 September. Total aggregate Portland and Kimmeridge test production now stands at over 68,773 bbl.
