                           For immediate release 20 September 2017 
 
                      UNITED OIL & GAS PLC (formerly SENTERRA ENERGY PLC) 
 
                                   UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS 
                          FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODED 30 JUNE 2017 
 
                                       Management Report 
 
                      United Oil & Gas Plc (the "Company") is pleased to 
                       announce the publication of its unaudited interim 
                     results for the six month period ended 30 June 2017, 
                       which will shortly be available on the Company's 
                                    website www.uogplc.com 
 
                       Senterra Energy Plc was originally formed to take 
                      control of, or invest in, businesses within the oil 
                      and gas sector, favouring companies with production 
                      and revenues which could result in scope for growth 
                       and attractive returns for shareholders. In July 
                    2017, subsequent to the period covered by this report, 
                   the Company completed a reverse takeover of UOG Holdings 
                      Plc ("UOG"), and is now listed as United Oil & Gas 
                     Plc on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. 
 
                       United Oil & Gas Plc's strategy is to acquire oil 
                      and gas licences in which we can actively influence 
                       near-term activity to unlock previously untapped 
                                            value: 
 
                   *    The management team at UOG has a proven track record 
                         of successfully evaluating and recommending farm-in 
                             deals, and is actively seeking appropriate 
                         opportunities to acquire assets in which full value 
                                  is currently not being realised. 
 
 
                        *    Once licences are acquired, we will use our 
                             experience in actively working operated and 
                         non-operated equity holdings to instigate activity 
                               and unlock identified additional value. 
 
 
                    *    Our primary focus is on the UK and Europe, where we 
                             can take advantage of our management team's 
                            experience and network of senior oil and gas 
                            executives, and also benefit from the stable 
                        political and fiscal systems in the region. However, 
                           we will consider assets in other countries and 
                                  regions on an opportunist basis. 
 
 
                       *    The Company's aim is to build a portfolio of 
                        exploration, development and production assets, which 
                        our management team will actively manage and look for 
                        any opportunities to make enhanced returns to equity 
                                              holders. 
 
 
                             UOG's current portfolio comprises of: 
                   *    Waddock Cross Field Project (UK) - 26.25% stake; and 
 
 
                        *    Podere Gallina Project (Italy) - 20% stake. 
 
 
 
                      In 2016, UOG acquired a stake in the PL090 licence, 
                      onshore UK, which includes: the Waddock Cross Field 
                      itself and the further exploration area within the 
                       PL090 licence. This was followed by a farm-in to 
                      the Podere Gallina licence, onshore Italy, in April 
                                             2017. 
 
                       UOG continues to pursue further portfolio growth, 
                    with an active pipeline of opportunities across Europe 
                                  currently under evaluation. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                    Results for the period 
 
                       The unaudited financial results for the six month 
                     period ended 30 June 2017 are set out in the report. 
 
                      During this period, the Company generated a pre-tax 
                      loss of GBP166,285, largely as a result of ongoing 
                      administrative costs and costs associated with the 
                     early stages of the reverse takeover and readmission 
                       which was completed in July 2017. Cash assets at 
                                the period end were GBP460,298. 
 
                       The Company has no debt and continues to be in a 
                          strong position to finance its obligations. 
 
                                    Risks and uncertainties 
 
                      The Directors have identified the following as key 
                     risks in the first six months of this financial year: 
 
                      - The Oil and Gas sector - exploration, development 
                                        and production 
 
                   The estimating of reserves and resources is a subjective 
                      process and there is significant uncertainty in any 
                  reserve or resource estimate. In addition, the exploration 
                     for and production of oil and other natural resources 
                      is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, 
                     in particular a company's operations may be disrupted 
                      by a variety of tasks and hazards which are beyond 
                  its control such as environmental regulation, governmental 
                  regulations or delays, increase in costs, the availability 
                      of equipment or services and the volatility of oil 
                                        and gas prices. 
 
                       - The Company's relationships with the Directors 
 
                     The Company is dependent on the Directors to identify 
                      potential acquisition opportunities and to execute 
                       acquisitions, and the loss of the services of the 
                        Directors could materially affect the Company. 
 
                                      - Business Strategy 
 
                      Our strategy is to acquire oil and gas licences in 
                      which we can actively influence near-term activity 
                             to unlock previously untapped value. 
 
                                           Auditing

                     NOTES TO THE INTERIM ACCOUNTS 
 
 
  1    Accounting policies 
 
       The same accounting policies and methods 
        of computation are followed in these Interim 
        Report and Accounts as compared with the 
        most recent annual financial statements. 
 
        Basis of preparation - Going concern 
 
        After making enquiries, the Directors have 
        a reasonable expectation that the company 
        will have adequate resources to continue 
        in operational existence for the foreseeable 
        future. Accordingly, they adopt the going 
        concern basis in preparing the Company's 
        financial statements. 
 
   2   Related party transactions 
 
       The Directors are considered to be the key 
        management personnel of the Company. During 
        the interim period, the Company paid fees 
        to Directors amounting to GBP18,000 (Year 
        ended 31 December 2016 - GBP36,000). 
 
        During the interim period, the Company was 
        charged fees and commission of GBP12,000 
        (Year ended 31 December 2016 - GBP54,486) 
        by Optiva Securities Limited, a company in 
        which Jeremy King, a previous Director of 
        the Company, is a director and shareholder. 
   3   Events after the reporting period 
 
       On 31 July 2017, the Company completed the 
        acquisition of the entire issued share capital 
        of UOG, the placing of 120,000,000 ordinary 
        shares of GBP0.01 each at 2.5 pence per share 
        and the readmission of 200,935,001 ordinary 
        shares of GBP0.01 each to the Official List 
        (Standard Segment) and to trading on the 
        London Stock Exchange's Main Market.. 
 
        The Company acquired UOG by issuing 53,935,001 
        ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each at a price 
        of 2.5 pence each. 
 
        Following completion of the acquisition, 
        and effective from 31 July 2017, both Kurt 
        Portmann and Jeremy King resigned as Directors 
        of the Company. Brian Larkin has been appointed 
        as Chief Executive Officer and Dr Jonathan 
        Leather as Technical Director of the Company 
        whilst Alberto Cattaruzza remains Non-Executive 
        Director. 
 
        The placing raised proceeds of GBP3 million.
