Jersey Oil and Gas PLC (LON:JOG) has been informed that the Verbier appraisal well will now likely be drilled in the first quarter of 2019, rather than in the current quarter.
Verbier is due to be the second well in a four-well drill programme operated by Equinor (formerly known as Statoil).

It is to be an appraisal follow-up to a successful exploration well from 2017. It aims to de-risk a proposed field development, prove up additional oil resources and narrow the current resource range of 25mln to 130mln barrels.
The estimated mean resource estimate stands at 69mln barrels oil equivalent.
