Highlights

JKX has increased overall production significantly in the period from 1 July to date as a result of higher oil and gas production in Ukraine and new production coming on-stream in Hungary. The Company’s Russian re-development project has subsequently yielded an excellent result from the first well workover as facilities renewal and well workover activities proceed. Development activities continue in Ukraine and the frac test programmes have provided encouraging results on well stimulation. Further exploration drilling success has been achieved in Hungary and seismic programmes continue in Bulgaria and Slovakia.
