Europa Oil and Gas plc Renewal of Tarbes Val d’Adour Permit, Onshore France
Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the AIM listed oil and gas exploration, development and production company focused on Europe, is pleased to announce the renewal of its 100% owned Tarbes Val d’Adour permit (‘Tarbes’ or ‘the Permit’), in the proven Aquitaine Basin, onshore France.

The Permit has been extended until 18 January 2015. Tarbes Val d'Adour contains several oil accumulations that were previously licensed by Elf but were abandoned in 1985 due to a combination of technical issues and low oil prices. Two fields, Jacque and Osmets, were drilled using vertical wells which generated modest production levels.

Hugh Mackay, CEO of Europa, said, “Thanks to previous operators recovering modest quantities of oil from two fields on the Permit, Tarbes is an appraisal rather than an exploration project. While not on the same scale as our potential company-making Bearn des Gaves permit onshore France and our two Kosmos Energy operated licences offshore Ireland, Tarbes offers a relatively low cost business development opportunity. In tandem with our on-going farm-out discussions for the Bearn des Gaves permit, we will now look to secure a partner with whom we can look to advance Tarbes in the limited time available.

“Elsewhere in our portfolio, we remain on course to drill two wells onshore UK in 2014, starting with the Wressle prospect in the first half of the year and Kiln Lane in the second, each with a one in three chance of success. Offshore Ireland, we expect to complete the interpretation of the 3D seismic survey acquired in Q3 2013 by the end of June 2014, at which time decisions will be made in respect of drilling the Kiernan and Mullen prospects. This is an exciting period for the Company and I look forward to providing further updates on our progress in due course.”
