Daydream-2 Update

Elixir Energy Limited (Elixir or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on the next stages of its Daydream-2 appraisal well in its 100% owned Grandis Gas Project (ATP 2044), located in the Taroom Trough of the Bowen Basin, Queensland.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Very positive log results for recently discovered deep permeable zone
  • Extent of this new play could be significant
  • Stimulation and testing phase due to commence imminently
Following the rig release announced on 20 December 2023, Elixir’s technical team and various service providers have been evaluating the data gathered to date. Further inputs are due in the weeks to come from external laboratories.

The discovery of the presence of porous and permeable sandstone reservoirs at 4,200 metres in the Daydream-2 well - which produced gas to surface - has great significance for Elixir’s Grandis Project

- and for the greater Taroom Trough. Daydream-2 was drilled to a total depth of 4,300 metres, which Elixir understands to be the deepest well in Queensland in over a decade.

During the drilling of Daydream-2 in December 2023, the well intersected a sandstone interval with significantly better than prognosed reservoir properties. Porosity of greater than 10% was logged, which is generally unusual for this depth onshore, other than in certain locations such as the Permian section of the Perth Basin.

The petrophysical log analysis and the recovery of gas indicates that there are three sandstone reservoirs in this section that are gas saturated. The gross thickness of these sands extends over ~12 metres.

Daydream-2 Petrophysical Logs over the Lower Lorelle Sandstone

The log character of the zone reveals significant information about the sands, namely:

1. The sands have sharp bases and are generally fine upwards, indicating they were deposited in a channelised fluvial depositional setting.

2. A good “resistivity profile” is noted between the shallowest and deepest readings. This is considered a good indicator of permeable rock and is particularly evident in Sand 1.

3. The yellow highlighted cross-over of the neutron and density logs is generally an indicator of gas producing reservoir sandstone in the Cooper and Bowen Basins.

Stratigraphic correlations show a similarity with the Lower Lorelle Sandstone identified in the well reports from the Dunk-1 well drilled by BG Group around a decade ago – located in PCA 305 (Shell – 100%) some 26 kilometres away – see map below.

Key Investor Insights on the Montney Formation’s Rich Natural Gas Resource

As the world moves to green energy, some fossil fuel resources still play an important role for economies in transition.

The Montney Formation, straddling the border of BC and Alberta in Canada, offers an unusually rich natural gas resource that’s in high demand in the transition economy. It’s also an important resource for Canada and for oil and gas investors.

Over the last decade, drilling activity at the formation has been on the rise as it transforms into a key economic driver and source of natural gas for changing times.

Oil and Gas Price Update: Q3 2024 in Review

The oil market faced volatility throughout the third quarter as increased supply and weak demand forced Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices to contract over the three month session.

On the demand side, major economy China is facing lower manufacturing activity and a prolonged real estate downturn. At the same time, non-OPEC+ countries, including the US and Brazil, are expected to increase output.

Starting the quarter in the mid-US$80 per barrel range, both Brent and WTI experienced Q3 price highs early in the session, with Brent values rising to US$87.39 and prices for WTI hitting US$83.93.

A Global Helium Shortage: Why This Investment Opportunity is Heating Up

Helium is experiencing an increasing level of demand for its applications in the medical, research, aerospace and technology industries. This rare and finite element is used in MRI machine technology, fiber optics, semiconductors, space exploration and more. Helium is also valuable for scientific research, medical use and in other specialized industries.

So, what is helium? Helium is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, inert and non-toxic gas that sits first in the group of noble gases on the periodic table of elements. Since it has so many important uses in the modern world, helium stocks are being reduced at a steady rate and at current rates of consumption the world could see its supply potentially dry up in the not too distant future.

While the US was once the dominant global supplier of helium, Canada and other countries around the world are emerging as potential new supply sources having large reserves of this noble gas, which could help with the looming helium shortage.
