Grant of final approvals necessary to drill the State 16-2LN-CC well

Zephyr Energy plc (AIM: ZPHR), the Rocky Mountain oil and gas company focused on responsible resource development and carbon-neutral operations , provides an update on its project in the Paradox Basin, Utah, U.S.A (the "Paradox project") where the Company is preparing to spud the State 16-2LN-CC appraisal well (the "well"). The well will seek to target the Company's first production on the Paradox project, and it is expected that drilling operations will commence in July as previously forecast.

The Company is pleased to announce that it has received all final approvals and permits required to proceed with the drilling of the well. These approvals include surface rights and rights to drill from the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration ("SITLA"), approvals from the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"), and Application to Drill ("APD") approval from the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining ("DOGM"). In addition, the Company has received all necessary consents from its joint-venture partner on the Paradox project.

With all approvals and permits now in place, the Company is working to finalise the project contracts needed to enable the Company to meet its proposed timeline of a July spud date.

Colin Harrington, Zephyr's Chief Executive said "Securing all approvals and consents needed to drill the State 16-2LN-CC is another step in our efforts to unlock significant value from what we believe is a project of substantial scale.

"I would like to thank all parties involved in this process, especially our advisers and the dedicated staff at SITLA, DOGM and the BLM. We are now well-positioned to finalise drilling preparations and third-party service contracts in advance of the proposed well spud next month."
