Lancaster Field Update
Hurricane Energy plc, the UK based oil and gas company, provides an update on Lancaster field operations.
Further to the announcements on 10 and 11 June 2021, the Company is pleased to announce that it has successfully restarted the electric submersible pump in the Lancaster 205/21a-6 ("P6") well.
Once stabilised, the Company intends to target oil production from the P6 well at a rate of c.11,000 bopd, being a similar level to that achieved immediately prior to the trip on 8 June 2021. Thereafter, oil production from the P6 well is expected to continue declining. A further operational update will be announced in early July, in line with the Company's recent reporting framework.
