2009

The Management of Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) have been advised by Europa Oil and Gas, the operator of Weald Basin licence PEDL143, that the Department of Energy and Climate Change has agreed to a two year extension of the licence to October 2012.The licence extension is in response to the time taken to complete the planning process for the Holmwood-1 exploration well. The operator has also advised that Surrey County Council Planning Department should be in a position to submit their recommendation to the Council Planning Committee in March 2010, and dependent upon a positive outcome to this application, a well could be drilled in late 2010 or early 2011.

The Directors of Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) today provide an update on planned drilling operations on its East Midlands Properties.As previously reported the Dukes Wood-1 well in Nottinghamshire licence PEDL118 was planned to commence prior to year end. However, delays in release of the rig from the previous operator has led to a short delay and the rig will now mobilise to the Dukes Wood well site during the first week of the New Year.In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into a second contract with British Drilling and Freezing Limited for the drilling of two further wells at the Kirklington and Keddington oil fields in licences PEDL203 and PEDL005(Remainder) respectively. The Kirklington-3 well will be a sidetrack of the existing Kirklington-2 production well and will target previously un-drained areas of the field. This well will be drilled immediately following completion of operations at Dukes Wood. It is then intended to move the rig to drill the Keddington-3 well which will be drilled as a sidetrack of Keddington-2y, again to access un-drained areas of the field and increase overall production levels.Further announcements will be made as appropriate as this three well drilling programme progresses.

The Directors’ of Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) are pleased to announce that completion of the sale of interests in four onshore UK licences to Terrain Energy Limited (“Terrain”) took place on 8 December 2009.The interests acquired by Terrain are all located in the East Midlands and comprise a 15% interest in PEDL005 (Remainder), and 25% interests in PEDL203, PEDL118 and PEDL206 respectively. Egdon retains a 75% operated interest in all of these licences.The total value of the transaction to Egdon will be £687,500, £450,000 of which has been received with a further £237,500 payable on a staged basis on commencement of specific drilling activity on licences PEDL005(Remainder), PEDL118 and PEDL203.

The Directors of Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR), the UK-based exploration and production company primarily focused on the hydrocarbon-producing basins of onshore UK and Europe, are pleased to give an update on the planned drilling operations at Dukes Wood-1 in Nottinghamshire licence PEDL118. The Company has entered into a contract with British Drilling and Freezing Limited (“BDF”) to use the BDF28 drilling rig to complete the drilling of the main section of Dukes Wood-1. The BDF28 drilling rig will mobilise to Dukes Wood-1 on completion of operations for another company which is currently anticipated to be in early December.The Dukes Wood-1 well was drilled and cased to a depth of 47m in November 2008 and will now be re-entered and drilled directionally to a planned measured depth of around 800 metres. The well will test the crest of the Dukes Wood anticline in an area where Egdon have identified potential for un-drained and re-migrated oil. A previous well in this part of the structure was re-entered in 1992 and produced 180 barrels of oil during a short test from the upper interval of the Ashover Grit indicating the presence of recoverable oil. Operations are expected to take around twelve days. The primary target for the well will be the Ashover Grit reservoir interval with secondary reservoir objectives in the Sub-Alton Crawshaw, Loxley Edge Rock and Wingfield Flags all oil bearing on the structure. This is the first well in the evaluation of the rejuvenation potential of the Eakring-Dukes Wood oil field where Egdon have identified low risk opportunities to add production, revenues and reserves.Egdon is the operator of the PEDL118 licence. Egdon has contracted, subject to regulatory and other approvals, to sell a 25% interest to Terrain Energy Limited, and on completion, which is expected shortly, Egdon will hold a 75% interest and Terrain a 25% interest in the licence.Further announcements will be made on commencement of drilling operations and then following results of the well, expected to be known later in December 2009.View or download full release

Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR), the UK-based exploration and production company primarily focused on the hydrocarbon-producing basins of onshore UK and Europe, is pleased to announce the commencement of production from its Kirklington oil field in PEDL203 located in Nottinghamshire.Following a period of commissioning and testing, the Kirklington-2 well was returned to continuous pumped production on 28 July 2009. As at 7 August 2009 the well had produced a total of 325 barrels of oil at an average daily rate of 32 bopd. Associated water production over the period was 640 barrels with an average water cut of 66%. This is in line with management’s expectations. The Kirklington-2 well has two oil producing intervals; the Sub-Alton Crawshaw and the Chatsworth Grit. The well is currently completed for production from the Chatsworth Grit.It is intended to continue producing the existing well until later in 2009 when a sidetrack will be drilled to an up-dip area of the Kirklington field to access additional oil reserves from both producing intervals. Planning approval is already in place for this operation.The Kirklington oil field was originally discovered by BP in 1986. Production from the Sub-Alton Crawshaw reservoir occurred between 1991 and 1998 and from the Chatsworth Grit reservoir from 2003 to 2004. Egdon acquired the current well-site from Star Energy in 2008.Commenting on the commencement of production, Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon, said:

“The commencement of production from the Kirklington-2 well is the first stage in the re-juvenation of the Kirklington oil field. Having gained all authorisations and completed the upgrading of the facilities at the site we look forward to the next phase of development with the drilling of a sidetrack well to access additional reserves and increase daily oil rates and cash flow from the field. In the meantime we welcome the incremental production and revenues.“

Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR), the UK-based exploration and production company primarily focused on the hydrocarbon-producing basins of onshore UK and Europe, is pleased to announce the award of a new French exploration permit. The “Permis de Gex” (Gex Permit) was ratified on 28 May 2009 and published in the Official Journal on 11 June 2009.Egdon will operate the Gex Permit with a 40% interest through its wholly owned subsidiary Egdon Resources (New Ventures) Ltd. The other partners in the joint venture group are Eagle Energy Limited (40%) and Nautical Petroleum plc (20%). The Gex Permit covers an area of 932 square kilometres and has a five year initial term which commenced on 11 June 2009.The Gex Permit is located in the Jura/Molasse Basin of Eastern France adjacent to the Swiss border and the city of Geneva.The main exploration targets comprise oil in shallow Oligocene sandstones and gas in deeper Triassic reservoirs. The Triassic gas prospects have been identified based on a reinterpretation of the regional structure style, which indicates the presence of large basement involved anticlines with strong topographic expression. These structures are each mapped as having significant resource potential of over 1 trillion cubic feet of gas in place. The focus of exploration for the shallow Oligocene play are the surface anticlines developed within the permit area. The presence of oil seeps and oil in shallow boreholes demonstrates the presence of a working petroleum system for this play.The work programme will be phased, with the initial two years comprising geological and geophysical studies and gravity data acquisition followed by a second contingent phase of three years which would include the acquisition of new seismic data and the drilling of a well. The total financial commitment for the joint venture group over both phases will be €1.16 million.Commenting on the permit award, Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon, said:

“The award of the Gex Permit represents further progress with the strategy we embarked on 18 months ago of growing Egdon’s French exploration position to further strengthen our medium-term exploration focus in a country with significant exploration potential, political stability and excellent fiscal terms. We are now able to progress the detailed evaluation of this high potential area which contains a mix of oil and gas prospects in a region which has been overlooked for a number of years. Of particular interest are the presence of large untested gas prospects in an area close to infrastructure able to feed into the European gas market “

Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) is pleased to announce completion of the sale of a 10% beneficial interest in Onshore UK Petroleum Exploration and Production Licence 005 (Remainder) (“PEDL005(Remainder)”) to Alba Resources Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nautical Petroleum plc. PEDL005(Remainder) is located in the county of Lincolnshire and contains the producing Keddington oil field.The consideration paid to Egdon is £260,000 in cash with the transaction having an effective date of 31 December 2008. The licence assignment has been approved by the Department for Energy and Climate Change. Egdon will retain a 90% interest and operatorship of the licence.The Keddington oil field was discovered by Candecca Resources in 1998 and produces via two wells from Westphalian (Carboniferous) age sandstone reservoirs from a depth of around 2,180 metres. Egdon acquired the then shut-in field from Roc Oil GB Limited in March 2007 for £250,000. Production was restarted in June 2007 and production currently averages around 50 barrels of oil per day. To date, the field has produced a total of over 192,000 barrels of oil, which represents only a small percentage of the mapped oil in place, which Egdon estimates could total over 4 million barrels. The field has potential for additional drilling to increase the current production levels and total field recovery. Planning consent is already in place for an additional well and a decision on the timing and bottom hole location of this will be made during the first half of 2009 once reprocessing of the existing 3D seismic data has been completed and fully evaluated. In the meantime the previously free-flowing Keddington-2y well is currently being completed for pumped production which is anticipated to increase total field production. Egdon continues to evaluate options for utilising the associated gas production for electricity generation for both site use and for sale and will be progressing decisions in this area during the next few months.Commenting on the sale, Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon said:

“This sale of a minority interest in Keddington provides a valuable addition to our near-term cash resources whilst setting a marker for the value of our remaining interest in the field. We remain encouraged by the upside at Keddington and look forward to working with the management of Nautical in developing further the production and revenue potential of the Keddington field and the other prospects within the licence.”

Steve Jenkins CEO of Nautical commented:

“This is small but significant step in the development of Nautical giving us access to our first production. We already have a good working relationship with Egdon in France and regard them as a very competent onshore operator."
