Having proven an optimal concept through engineering studies, the company has attracted capable partners to fund activities through to first oil. With full funding secured against only 20% equity, Jersey offers investors asymmetric risk-reward in realizing tremendous stranded value.\nDuring 2021 and 2022, Jersey Oil & Gas attracted North Sea heavyweights Neo Energy and Serica Energy to participate in the Greater Buchan Area redevelopment.

The development base case comprises five production wells and two water injectors, with pressure support from underlying aquifers expected to boost recovery above 50% of oil in place. Significantly enhancing economics, operating costs are forecast below $15/bbl.\nPartners are fully funding a comprehensive FEED study currently underway, together with all activities through to FDP approval in 2024. Based on the approved development budget, Jersey’s 20% equity share will also be fully carried through the construction and commissioning phase.
