The headline of the week has to be” Just Stop Oil stops M25 protests, eco mob says many activists are in jail”
After activists attacked the motorway for four days, the group released the following statement: “Just Stop Oil will stop its civil resistance campaign on the M25 from Friday.

Executive Chairman of Union Jack, David Bramhill commented: “The update provided by Egdon, especially in respect of our flagship project, the Wressle development, is particularly encouraging.
We now have a clear focus on our forward strategy at Wressle to implement, as a priority, the monetisation of its gas reserves that also facilitates optimum oil production from the producing Ashover Grit reservoir. In parallel, the development plan and consenting process are being progressed to enable future production of the significant resources within the Penistone Flags reservoir.
“Wressle production over the past 12 months has been transformational for Union Jack. Revenues are fast approaching US$11 million and the Wressle-1 well continues to produce above expectations.”
U.S. energy companies added oil and natural gas drilling rigs this week for the second consecutive week, as high oil prices encourage them to drill more.

This was its highest level since March 2020.
Prospex Energy PLC (AIM: PXEN) Potential sale of Warrego Energy interests in Spanish assets.

Synergia Energy Ltd (ASX:AIM: SYN) Cambay C-77H Update; The C-77H well continues to produce on a consistent plateau with gas rates between 255 and 275 MCFD. The c. 1450m column of gas condensate persists and requires an artificial lift solution to both remove fluids and enhance gas production.
It is the Company’s belief that the implementation of the artificial lift solution in the C-77H well will significantly enhance gas and condensate production. In addition, the implementation of artificial lift is considered to be an essential component of a full field development of the condensate-rich Eocene reservoir.
