Angus Energy plc announced that the drilling programme at Saltfleetby is likely to be extended by approximately 14 days as a consequence of drilling issues in the Westphalian reservoir and following which the testing phase will commence. The Company is preparing to mill a new window in the 7" casing, some 100 metres above the present cased depth of approximately 2400 metres, and to drill directly to target depth in 6" hole. Operations to mill the window are expected to commence 25 January 2023 and drilling in open hole will resume before the end of the week.
