The UK’s JKX Oil and Gas has agreed to acquire minority stakes in a field in Hungary, the company said in an exploration update on Thursday.
JKX will acquire minority shareholdings in HN Ventures, which indirectly owns the Gorbehaza field, part of the Nyirseg block (E Hungary), from Ascent Resources and DualEx Nyirseg.
JKX said it planned to start testing operations at another well in Hungary, near Hernad, by the middle of September. JKX Hungary holds 50pc of the Hernad licence through a joint venture operated by Hungarian Horizon Energy.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
Note that we will be experimenting with some modifications to the commenting system over the coming days, with the aim of allowing users to post without a CAPTCHA system and other manual anti-spam gizmos. We will therefore be monitoring comments more closely, and if you have any related issues or observations, you can just leave them in a comment on any article.
