United highlighted that the headline results exceed the company’s own internal expectations.

In a note, Cenkos analyst James Mccormack said: “The results further underline the remaining potential of the Abu Sennan concession and mark the fourth consecutive positive well result for United since acquiring its 22% interest in the licence in February 2019.

“We update our valuation, increasing our core NAV and risked exploration NAV to 5.6p and 28.9p, respectively.”

Either valuation suggests substantial upside to United’s current share price of 5.2p.
