Elixir Energy (ASX:EXR)

Daydream-2 Operations Concluded

Elixir Energy Limited (“Elixir” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an operational update on the Daydream-2 well in its 100% owned Project Grandis in Queensland’s Taroom Trough.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Five out of six stimulated zones flowed gas
  • Additional deep coal flow to increase contingent resources
  • Stabilised flow rate less than previously measured but remediable in future wells
  • Well to be retained as a future gas producer
  • All licence commitments now met for ATP 2044 and retention lease to be sought

Elixir has now concluded its testing program of the Daydream-2 well and the well is being retained through a process of suspension as a future gas producer. The Coil Tubing Unit (CTU) has been released back to Elixir’s neighboring Operator to continue with its ongoing multi-well program.

All licence commitments have now been met for ATP 2044 and Elixir will now proceed with a process of applying for the licence to be deemed a retention lease (in Queensland this is called a Potential Commercial Area – PCA – which has a maximum term of 15 years).

The well delivered gas flow rates from five out of the six stimulated zones – including for the first time in two separate deep coal zones.

Achieving flows from these deep coals should allow the commencement of the conversion to contingent resources of the current prospective resources booked in the coals in ATP 2044 (see ASX announcement of 21 February 2024). Elixir will work with its independent auditors over this initial contingent resource booking in the coming months.

During the final phase of testing, gas was flowed at various rates and various choke sizes. A maximum flow rate of 2.6 MMSCFD was recorded and the stabilized rate was 1.0 MMCFPD prior to shut-in.

This reduction in stabilised rate has been attributed to condensate or water banking immediately around the wellbore.

This was likely caused by the multiple open and closures of the well during recent operations, or by adverse reactions to fluids introduced into the wellbore. Such issues are common in early stage tight gas plays globally and can be remedied by operational changes to fluid use and well management. Due to the appraisal nature of this well, the extensive multi-phase testing and evaluation undertaken (including for R&D purposes) was required as part of the planning for a future development.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Tag Oil Posts 76 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

South of the border, cooling rhetoric from the Trump administration led what turned out to be a relatively quiet news week.

Markets were volatile at the start of the week, however, after US President Donald Trump suggested on April 17 that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s “termination couldn’t come fast enough.”

The president softened his stance on Tuesday (April 22) when he said he had no intention of firing the head of the US central bank, but called him a “major loser.” Trump has been critical of Powell, saying that he has been slow to react to the markets in making rate cuts.

Oil and Gas Price Update: Q1 2025 in Review

The oil sector faced volatility throughout the first quarter of 2025.

Concerns around weak demand, increasing supply and trade tensions came to head in early April, pushing oil prices to four year lows and eroding the support Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) had above the US$65 per barrel level.

Starting the year at US$75 (Brent) and US$72 (WTI), the oil benchmarks rallied in mid-January, reaching five month highs of US$81.86 and US$78.90, respectively. Tariff threats and trade tensions between the US and China, along with soft demand in Asia and Europe, dampened the global economic outlook for 2025 and added headwinds for oil prices.

This pressure caused oil prices to slip to Q1 lows of US$69.12 (Brent) and US$66.06 (WTI) in early March.
