Eight new wells for East Yorkshire’s West Newton gasfield

Statements to investors said the first new appraisal well was planned for January-June 2023.

Four more wells could then be drilled, the statements said, followed by another three in 2028-2030.

The news is likely to concern some local people, who twice opposed planning permission for more drilling at the West Newton-A site.

The details of the drilling proposals came in a conceptual development plan, reported today by Rathlin’s partners, Reabold Resources and Union Jack Oil.

Union Jack Oil plc (LON:UJO) is an onshore oil and gas exploration company with a focus on drilling, development and investment opportunities in the United Kingdom hydrocarbon sector.
