Union Jack Oil PLC - UK-focused hydrocarbon production, development and exploration company - Swings to a pretax profit in 2022 as its full-year revenue multiplies. Pretax profit in the year swings to £3.1 million from a loss of £853,013 the year prior. Revenue multiplies to £8.5 million from $1.9 million in 2021.

Looking forward, Executive Chair David Bramhill says the company will remain focused on the development of its flagship projects, Wressle and West Newton, moving forward. ‘The future of Union Jack remains bright,’ he adds.
