Helium Development Well Permits Awarded Galactica/Pegasus

Blue Star Helium Limited (ASX:BNL, OTCQB:BSNLF) (Blue Star or the Company) provides an update on helium development well permitting at its Galactica/Pegasus helium project in Las Animas County, Colorado.


Highlights

  • COGCC awards final approval for drilling of four development wells at Galactica/Pegasus.
  • These four wells are to be drilled as offset development wells to the JXSN#1 and JXSN#2 helium discoveries and are expected to be production wells.
 

Galactica/Pegasus development well update

The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) has approved the Forms 2 relating to each of the State 09, State 16, State 35 and State 36 development wells. These wells relate to the “State 09 & 16 3054” and “State 35 & 36 OGDP” oil and gas development plans. This is the final COGCC approval required to drill these wells.

These four wells are to be drilled as offset development wells to the JXSN#1 and JXSN#2 helium discoveries made earlier this year (see ASX announcement of 17 May and 7 June 2022) and are expected to be production wells. These wells will be scheduled for drilling with the currently proposed development wells at Galactica/Pegasus shown on the map below.

Galactica/Pegasus development plan

Sproule is currently finalising a resource update for Galactica/Pegasus, which is expected to result in the declaration of contingent helium and CO2 resources.

The Galactica/Pegasus development is larger-scale project with multiple potential product streams. Further engineering and market work is underway to refine the initial planned development configuration and forecast helium and CO2 production and cost estimates.

There are currently a range of development pathways under consideration, including a leased plant and third party operated option. The final development is expected to include a CO2 extraction route and by-product stream.

The Galactica/Pegasus facilities are planned to be permitted in parallel with the Voyager development described in the ASX announcement of 19 December 2022.

A final decision on the initial Galactica/Pegasus plant configuration is expected in H1 CY2023.

Technical completion of Cortical's next-generation AI enhanced brain and pain monitoring BARM 2.0 is expected over the next months.

BARM 2.0 is the only solution that unifies hypnotic depth and pain response monitoring, combining EEG with AI in one system, giving clinicians real-time control over anesthesia, and hospitals a smarter, more scalable way to achieve better patient outcomes both during and after surgery.

Post technical completion BARM 2.0 clinical trials are scheduled in the USA and Netherland to be followed by submissions to regulatory authorities worldwide as soon as possible.

Cortical Dynamics was invited to showcase BARM 2.0 at the Australia Regulatory Device Summit 2025, that took place on the 17-18 July at ICC. In attendance were key stakeholders including the US FDA , Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and international regulators from ANVISA (Brazil), HSA (Singapore), and PMDA (Japan).

The next stage is to build production facilities in the USA and India, both being highly industrial markets with demand for CHT's products.

As such since mid-2024 CHT has been designing its production facility for India initially which will produce at the end of its Stage 1 build will produce 820 tonnes of hydrogen and 2,462 tonnes of carbon composite. CHT plans to sell it products to the many industrial users in the State of Maharashtra India, home of its planned production site, and likely Louisiana, USA, with several site options identified.

Before finalising production needs and CHT has been going through the ASME (required for operation in USA) and IS2825 (required for operation in India) review of its engineering designs where this process is almost complete.

5 Best-performing Canadian Oil and Gas Stocks of 2025

Oil prices fell sharply during the second quarter, after reaching year-to-date highs early in the year.

Between January and the end of June, Brent shed 18.26 percent from US$81.69 to US$66.77. West Texas Intermediate made a similar decline falling 16.94 percent from US$78.86 to US$65.50, over the same time period.

The contraction was largely attributed to OPEC+ easing production cuts and increasing output.

Global supply was further bolstered by China’s strong import volumes and rising domestic output, giving refiners room to delay purchases and adding to a mild US inventory build, both of which added downward pressure.

Conversely, seasonal demand from the US summer driving season and solid Q2 GDP growth in China offered some support.

Despite that backdrop, the five top-performing oil and gas stocks on the TSX and TSXV have seen share price growth over Q2 2025. All year-to-date performance and share price data was obtained on July 16, 2025, using TradingView’s stock screener, and oil and gas companies with market caps above C$10 million at that time were considered.
