West Newton Operations Update
Reabold, the investor in upstream oil and gas projects, is pleased to provide an update on
activities at the West Newton B site, operated by Rathlin Energy (UK) Limited ("Rathlin").
Highlights:
· Commencement of well testing operations on 7 June 2021, with an initial focus on
the lower portion of the Kirkham Abbey pay zone
· Significant inflow of completion fluids into and subsequently out of the reservoir,
indicative of a functioning permeability system
· Liquids and gas recovered to surface
· Operation now focussed on clean-up of the well ahead of further flow testing
· Gas analyses exhibit a strong similarity to analyses obtained from the West Newton
A site wells with samples showing approximately 90% methane content and no
native H2S
·
·
Analyses of the recovered liquids are pending
Additional 19 metre zone in the upper Kirkham Abbey Formation identified for
perforation and flow testing
Reabold holds a ca. 56 per cent. economic interest in West Newton via its ca. 59 per cent.
shareholding in Rathlin, which, in turn, has a 66.67 per cent. interest in PEDL183. In
addition, Reabold has a 16.665 per cent. direct licence interest in PEDL183.
Stephen Williams, co-CEO of Reabold, commented:
"We are very encouraged by the indications of permeability within the system, and of course by
the initial recovery of hydrocarbons to surface. We look forward to continued clean up of
completion fluids from the well, putting us in a position to assess hydrocarbon flow potential.
"Along with planned testing of additional zones and of the A-2 well, the test will provide key data
inputs into the ultimate development plans at West Newton, including the drilling of the deviated
well at B-2."

Notes to Editors
Reabold Resources plc is an investing company investing in the exploration and
production ("E&P") sector. The Company's investing policy is to acquire direct and indirect
interests in exploration and producing projects and assets in the natural resources sector,
and consideration is currently given to investment opportunities anywhere in the world.
As an investor in upstream oil & gas projects, Reabold aims to create value from each
project by investing in undervalued, low-risk, near-term upstream oil & gas projects and
by identifying a clear exit plan prior to investment.
Reabold's long term strategy is to re-invest capital made through its investments into
larger projects in order to grow the Company. Reabold aims to gain exposure to assets
with limited downside and high potential upside, capitalising on the value created
between the entry stage and exit point of its projects. The Company invests in projects
that have limited correlation to the oil price.
Reabold has a highly-experienced management team, who possess the necessary
background, knowledge and contacts to carry out the Company's strategy.
