Elixir Energy (ASX:EXR)

Daydream-2 Update

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


HIGHLIGHTS

  • On site operations at Daydream-2 have recommenced
  • High pressure noted at wellhead

The on-site operations for the Daydream-2 stimulation and testing program have now recommenced with Elixir’s contracting staff returning to the well-site to prepare for the arrival of the coil tubing unit (CTU). This unit was recently imported from New Zealand to undertake work for the Company and its neighbouring Operator.

The CTU operated by Condor Energy (on a previous well location)

As part of these preparations, pressure at the Daydream-2 wellhead was recently measured at 3,410 psi - despite having a full column of saline water in the hole. Although the pressure is safely contained behind two separate barriers and presents no issues with respect to the planned work program, the high pressure was unexpected. The likely cause of this anomalously high wellhead pressure could be:

1. The temporary plug that separates the high pressure Lorelle sandstone from the remainder of the wellbore has been leaking; and/or,

2. Perforations that were placed above the Lorelle sandstone (in what were assessed to be low quality siltstones during the recent removal of a blockage in the well) - may now be contributing high pressure gas.

The upcoming program will now attempt to clarify this issue as Elixir moves to flow test the Lorelle sandstone and stimulate other zones higher in the hole.

Elixir’s Managing Director, Mr Neil Young, said: “The unexpected high pressure at the Daydream-2 wellhead is yet another example of the great potential of the Taroom Trough to contribute gas from an enormously thick gross section containing multiple sedimentary forms. The next month or so will be an exciting time for Elixir as we continue to learn more and more from what has been an incredibly valuable appraisal well to date.”

Oil and Gas Price Update: Q2 2025 in Review

In the face of geopolitical strife oil and gas prices were able to register moderate gains through the first half of 2025, although the second half of the year is likely to be punctuated with continued unrest and supply chain fragility.

Oil benchmarks ended the first quarter slightly off their 2025 start positions, with Brent crude coming in at US$76.08 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WT) hitting US$72.87 per barrel before headwinds began sending values lower.

In early May, both benchmarks dropped sharply, Brent slipping nearly 6 percent to US$60.48 while WTI fell to US$57.42, a near two year low. The decline was driven by a combination of weak demand and rising supply as OPEC+ signaled plans to boost production in July, adding to existing oversupply concerns after a surge in global inventories.

IEA: World Energy Investment to Hit US$3.3 Trillion in 2025

Despite geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds, global energy investment is expected to rise to an unprecedented US$3.3 trillion in 2025, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The bulk of that capital — US$2.2 trillion — will go to clean energy technologies, including renewables, grids, storage, nuclear and efficiency initiatives, signaling the accelerating dominance of the so-called “Age of Electricity.”

This marks a 2 percent real-term increase from 2024, and, more significantly, it reflects a decisive structural shift.
