Presently, the well is in a normal clean-up phase, and, Union Jack highlighted that the well is being brought online carefully.

Produced oil will be transported by road tanker to the Phillips 66 Humber refinery, Union Jack noted.

Partners in the venture expect to provide more detailed production information once rates have stabilised.
