'Lincoln Crestal' 205/26b-14 Well Update
Hurricane Energy plc, the UK based oil and gas company focused
on hydrocarbon resources in naturally fractured basement
reservoirs, provides an update in relation to the 205/26b-14 well
("Lincoln Crestal").
The Company notes speculation regarding the flare on the
Transocean Leader drilling rig. The Company confirms that a drill
stem test on the Lincoln Crestal well has produced oil to surface,
resulting in a flare. At 13:10 on Sunday 8 September 2019, the well
was shut-in to enable a planned pressure build-up test.
The Company will update the market on initial results of the
well, including flow rates and oil type, following completion of
the ongoing testing phase.

About Hurricane
Hurricane was established to discover, appraise and develop
hydrocarbon resources associated with naturally fractured basement
reservoirs. The Company's acreage is concentrated on the Rona
Ridge, in the West of Shetland region of the UK Continental
Shelf.
The Lancaster field (100%) is the UK's first producing basement
field. Hurricane is pursuing a phased development of Lancaster,
starting with an Early Production System consisting of two wells
tied-back to the Aoka Mizu FPSO. This development is initially
expected to produce an average of 17,000 bopd (gross production of
20,000 bopd with assumed operating efficiency of 85%, following a
period of ramp-up). First oil was achieved on 4 June 2019.
Hurricane's other assets include Lincoln (50%), Warwick (50%),
Halifax (100%), Whirlwind (100%), and Strathmore (100%). Together
with Lancaster, these assets have total combined 2P reserves and 2C
contingent resources of 2.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent (2.3
billion barrels of oil equivalent net to Hurricane).
In September 2018, Spirit Energy farmed-in to 50% of the Lincoln
and Warwick assets, committing to a five-phase work programme
targeting sanction of full field development in 2021. The first
phase of the programme includes the drilling and testing of three
wells in 2019, which is being carried out using the Transocean
Leader semi-submersible drilling rig. Lincoln Crestal is the second
well and was spudded on 12 July 2019.
