**UK Oil & Gas PLC** (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce that construction of Pinarova-1’s drilling pad and access road has now been completed. Drilling to a total depth of around 500-550 metres below surface is now expected to commence in the first half of April 2023 following drilling rig mobilisation.

Pinarova-1, located 6 km north of the Basur-1 oil discovery, is designed to test a working hypothesis, supported by well and seismic data, that the active 41.7˚ API light oil seep found last summer in a seismic shot hole above the Pinarova structure, is directly fed by and connected to an underlying light oil accumulation of some 9 km² areal extent within Eocene Hoya group limestones, lying around 300-645 metres below surface (see RNS of 11th January 2023 and 30th June 2022).

**Qualified Person’s Statement**

Matt Cartwright, UKOG’s Commercial Director, who has 39 years of relevant experience in the global oil industry, has approved the information contained in this announcement. Mr Cartwright is a Chartered Engineer and member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
