What it is doing
US Oil & Gas PLC (USOP) in April 2020 told investors it hopes to drill a new well during the second quarter of 2020 at its project in Nevada.
Despite coronavirus impacts the indications at present are that US federal and state regulatory processes may not be slowed to a significant degree.

It also, at that time, began to discuss drill plans which would target the East Play within the project.
The intention was that well drilling would be followed by a seismic survey of the West Play to develop targets.
The East Play is believed by the company to be the best near-term candidate subject to testing.
It is said to be a likely analogue of Railroad Valleys producing Trap Spring field.
Work focussed on two horizons of interest to confirm that continuity exists between these horizons and oil-bearing zones seen in the Eblana-1 and Eblana-3 wells, said the company.
