| 1. Successful Geochemical Survey | Piston-Core Sampling & Positive Results | In Progress. Permits secured (Sep 2025). Operations are expected in late 2025/early 2026. | This step provides the final scientific evidence (e.g., oil or gas residue in the seabed) to significantly reduce the risk and increase the chance of success for the actual drilling. |
| 2. Secure Farm-out Partner | Agreement Signed | In Progress. Multiple companies are reviewing data under NDAs. | The cost of an offshore exploration well ($50M+ USD) is too high for the current license holder (UOG) alone. They must secure a large, financially capable partner (a "major" or "super-major") to fund the drilling. |
| 3. Spud the Exploration Well | Physical Drilling Commences | Pending. Requires a partner and a drilling rig. | "Attains a petroleum well" requires physically drilling a well to the target depth. The well would target a specific structure (like the "Colibri" prospect). |
| 4. Announce a Discovery | Well Encounter Confirms Hydrocarbons |

TDI-BROOKS AWARDED GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL PROGRAM OFF JAMAICA
By TDI Brooks International
Oct 10, 2025

https://www.tdi-bi.com/wp-content/up...essel-Gyre.jpg
TDI Brooks has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with United Oil & Gas Plc. to provide their survey vessel R/V GYRE for a geotechnical and surface geochemical program off the coast of Jamaica. The GYRE will conduct a piston coring and surface geochemical exploration (SGE) survey within the Walton Morant license, gathering 40-60 seabed cores from the Walton and Morant Basins, in addition to bathymetric, multibeam (MBES), and heat-flow surveys.
On the way to Trinidad for a project awarded in that area, TDI Brooks plans to deploy the GYRE later this quarter for the undertaking in Jamaica. Field operations are expected to continue for a duration of two (2) to three (3) weeks, with completion projected within a brief operational timeframe and initial analytical results anticipated between late Q4 2025 and early Q1 2026.

Highlights:- MOU signed with TDI Brooks International to secure a vessel for Q4 2025 piston coring and surface geochemical survey
- Program to collect 40–60 seabed cores across the Walton and Morant Basins, alongside bathymetric, multibeam, and heat-flow surveys
- Field operations expected to last two to three weeks, with mobilization planned for Q4 2025
- Execution during this window enables material cost savings, as the TDI Brooks vessel will transit via Jamaica en route from Trinidad
- Critical de-risking step supporting ongoing farm-out discussions and shareholder value creation
Survey Scope and Schedule
The piston coring and surface geochemical campaign, to be undertaken by TDI Brooks International, forms a key part of United’s forward work program under its extended license to January 2028. The survey will involve the collection of 40–60 seabed core samples across the Walton and Morant Basins, accompanied by bathymetric, multibeam echo-sounding, and heat-flow surveys.
The data will be analyzed for geochemical and thermal signatures to confirm the presence of thermogenic hydrocarbons, assess source rock maturity, and refine basin modeling, materially enhancing the definition of key prospects, including Colibri and Oriole.
Following formal contract execution, which is expected to take place shortly, TDI Brooks will mobilize the vessel later this quarter. Field operations are expected to last for two to three weeks, with completion anticipated within a short operational window and initial analytical results expected in late Q4 2025 to early Q1 2026.
Brian Larkin, Chief Executive Officer of
United Oil & Gas, commented: “Securing the vessel agreement with TDI Brooks is a decisive move that takes United from preparation into execution. The piston coring and geochemical survey will deliver vital new data to confirm the presence of hydrocarbons and materially de-risk the Walton Morant Basin. With a short operational window and high regional demand for vessels, it was essential that we move now to secure capacity. This program represents a pivotal value catalyst for United, and we strongly anticipate it to strengthen our technical position, accelerate farm-out discussions, and demonstrate our commitment to driving tangible shareholder value through disciplined, timely execution.”

Yes, TDI Brooks International will conduct a piston coring survey in Jamaica in Q4 2025. The survey is for United Oil & Gas and is planned to begin with vessel mobilization in Q4 2025, with field operations expected to take two to three weeks.- Survey details: The project involves collecting 40-60 seabed cores as part of a geotechnical and surface geochemical exploration program in the Walton Morant Basin.
- Timeline: TDI Brooks will mobilize its vessel, the Gyre, later this quarter (Q4 2025).
- Purpose: The survey aims to confirm the presence of hydrocarbons and de-risk the exploration area for United Oil & Gas.
- Results: Initial analytical results are expected between late Q4 2025 and early Q1 2026.

United Oil & Gas - London-based mining firm with exploration asset in Jamaica - Says it has inked a non-binding memorandum of understanding to secure a survey vessel for its offshore Jamaica Walton Morant license. Says the MoU is with geotechnical and geochemical survey service provider TDI Brooks International, who will carry out piston coring, surface work and sample collection. Describes this as a "key derisking milestone" with cost savings based on the vessel's transit route from Trinidad, and avoidance of "schedule slippage into 2026".Leave a comment:

Farm-out talks hot wid partners under NDA—positive samples could lock US$50M fi Colibri well (406M+ barrels potential).

Total potential: 7B+ barrels unrisked.
No discoveries (rumors debunked), but dis de-risk step.
Likelihood: 65–75% fi attain (drill) a well by Feb 2028—permits done, extension locked, regional heat from Guyana boostin' interest. If samples good late 2025, drill 2026–27 easy.

They have a 50% chance by time extention which is jan 31 2028 if they going to drill 2027 is the yearLeave a comment:

Prediction #4 is risky, A election must happen in Florida but United Oil risk drilling...dat nuh affi happen....if they drill derisking helps the surveys are criticalLeave a comment:

Based on the analysis, UOG PLC drilling a well in the Walton-Morant license by 2028 (40-50% chance) is more likely to occur than a Democratic (DNC) win in the 2026 Florida gubernatorial election (20-30% chance). The drilling has a higher probability due to UOG’s strategic focus and the potential to secure a farm-in partner, despite financial and regulatory hurdles, while Florida’s strong Republican lean makes a Democratic victory less probable.Leave a comment:
