Quarterly Production Report

United Oil & Gas PLC (AIM: "UOG"), the growing oil and gas company with a portfolio of production, development, exploration and appraisal assets, offers a quarterly production update for the first quarter of 2021.

-- United's Q1 2021 net working interest production averaged 2,520 boepd (2,053 bopd oil and 467 boepd gas), slightly above the previously provided guidance for H1-21 of between 2,300 and 2,500 boepd

-- This represents a 12% uplift compared to Q4 2020, largely driven by the additional production through the ASH gas pipeline (completed 27(th) December 2020) and more recently from the ASH-3 well, which has been producing at an average of over 4,000 boepd (880 boepd net) since coming onstream on 5 March

All of United's production for the period was from the Kuwait Energy Egypt ("KEE") operated Abu Sennan Licence, Egypt, in which United holds a 22% working interest.

This data will vary quarter on quarter as development, appraisal and exploration operations continue.
