Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the AIM traded UK and Ireland focused oil and gas exploration, development and production company, announced that the W1 well at the onshore UK Wressle oilfield has resumed production. The jet pump and the associated surface equipment is operating as expected and since production resumed the W1 well has produced at gross rates of over 950 bbls of oil per day ("bopd"), compared to approximately 750 bopd prior to the jet pump. The well is now on continuous 24-hour production and is expected to continue to clean up over the course of the coming days.

Once stabilised production is achieved a further announcement will be made. Europa holds a 30% economic interest in PEDL180/182.
