Saltfleetby Field: Production Ramp Up

Angus Energy (AIM: ANGS) is pleased to announce that, as planned, the second compressor at Saltfleetby Field was successfully commissioned in dual compressor mode on 10^th May and the 3 producing wells in the field, B2, A4 and the new B7T well, have been flowing gas to the National Grid at the combined average daily rate of 9.5 mmscfd since then. This represents more than a 75% increase in production over that achieved in the first quarter of this year. As expected, the new B7T well is producing between 4-5 mmscfd through the temporary flowline with stable flow as it continues to clean-up.

Angus CEO, Richard Herbert, commented: "The achievement of our goal of putting 3 wells in production through the Saltfleetby facility is very satisfying and represents an important milestone for the Company as it positions for strong cash flow generation and growth in the future. I am very grateful to the Angus team for all their hard work to deliver this great progress."

END.

Explanation of Terminology:

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. Mmscfd represents mmscfd per day.

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.
