EnQuest PLC ('together with its subsidiaries, 'EnQuest'), an independent energy company with operations in the UK North Sea and Malaysia, is pleased to announce that it has today reached agreement with Viaro Energy's subsidiary, RockRose UKCS 10 Ltd ('RockRose'), to sell a 15% working interest in each of the Bressay field and the EnQuest Producer floating production, storage and offloading vessel ('FPSO'), both located in the UK North Sea.

We look forward to working with Rockrose, Waldorf (our Kraken JV partner) and the NSTA to move the project forward."

Notes to editors

Total gross assets associated with Bressay and the EnQuest Producer as of 31 October 2023 were GBP8.6 million, with the original field new build cost associated with the FPSO being GBP586 million. Given that Bressay and the EnQuest Producer FPSO are not currently in a production phase, EnQuest currently has no profits attributable to the subjects of this transaction.

EnQuest currently holds an operated 100% working interest in Bressay, which is located across four UK licence blocks: P234, P493, P920 and P977. Bressay is a heavy oil field in the Northern North Sea located in 110 metres water depth and 12 kilometres Northeast of the EnQuest-operated Kraken heavy oil field. It is one of the largest undeveloped oil fields in the UKCS with an estimated stock-tank oil initially in place ('STOIIP') of 600 to 1,050 MMbbls. The field was discovered in 1976 and has been appraised through the drilling and testing of four further wells, with flow rates of up to 2,900 bopd achieved.
