P2170 "Verbier" Licence Extension

Jersey Oil & Gas (AIM: JOG), an independent upstream oil and gas company ‎focused on the UK Continental Shelf region of the North Sea, is pleased to announce that the North Sea Transition Authority has approved an extension to the Second Term of the P2170 "Verbier" licence.

Further to the recently announced extension of the P2498 "Buchan" licence, the Second Term of the P2170 licence has been extended by three years to 29 August 2026.  The extension was requested in order to provide the licensees with the time required to prepare a Field Development Plan for the Verbier discovery, as part of a phased Greater Buchan Area ("GBA") development plan.  The first phase of the planned GBA work programme involves re-development of the Buchan field, with the start-up of production targeted for 2026.
