Angus Energy Plc 

("Angus Energy", "Angus" or the "Company")

Revised Spud Date and Process Capacity Milestone

Angus Energy Plc (AIM: ANGS), is pleased to announce that, following a scheduled maintenance shutdown last week, hourly throughput rates through the process plant (i.e. sales gas) now exceeds our October target production rate of 6 million standard cubic feet per day with well pressures holding in the high forties.  Condensate production has stabilised at or around 120 barrels per day.  As previously advised, we will report monthly gas sales figures at the end of each quarter.

Side-track planning progresses apace with a slight adjustment to spud date from 20 October 2022, as previously advised, to 24-26 October 2022 in order to accommodate a potential supply chain issue.

END.

Explanation of Terminology:

Kwhr, Therms, megajoules (MJ) are all measures of the energy content of a quantity of gas and have a fixed and unvarying relationship with one another.

scm (standard cubic metre) mscm (thousand standard cubic metre) and mmscf (million standard cubic feet) are traditional measures of volumes of gas.  As producers we tend to observe volume flow from wells and through process plant but we are paid on the energy content which is metered and analysed at point of sale.

These two types of measurement, energy and volume, are related by the calorific or higher heating value which is the number of MJ per standard cubic metre.  Very intense processing, i.e. lower temperatures, will tend to remove more higher hydrocarbon fractions such as propane, butane and pentane, which will lower the calorific value but improve the margin of safety in terms of meeting transmission grid specification.

55,000 Therms, given a calorific value of about 41MJ per standard cubic metres is approximately equal to 5mmscf or 141,584 scm, 1,612,486 kwhrs, 5,804,948 MJ.
