    • Footnote to support paragraph 3
  • Page 3 updated to include a reference to Appendix 2
  • Page 4 (MD’s quote) to include a reference to Appendix 3
  • Appendices 1, 2 and 3 added.

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


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Gas flowed to surface from top-most stimulated coal zone in Daydream-2
  • This is the first flow from the deep coals in the Taroom Trough
  • Elixir to work with its reserves certifiers for an initial contingent resource booking

The Daydream-2 well has now flowed gas to surface from the upper most stimulated zone in the well – a package of coal seams between 3,786 metres and 3,678 metres deep. The flow was unassisted and through a full well-bore of water. See Appendix 1 for ASX Listing Rule 5.30 disclosures.

This is the first flow of gas from the deep coals in the Taroom Trough and achieving this was one of the key objectives of Daydream-2. It is Elixir’s understanding that this is the deepest coal to have flowed gas to surface in Australia.1

Achieving a flow from the coals is the key outcome that Elixir sought from this stage of the program, which has now moved onto its next phase.

In its ASX announcement dated 21 February 2024, Elixir set out its internal estimate of the prospective resources contained in the Permian coals in ATP 2044. The 2U (mid case) prospective resource was 3,603 billion cubic feet. See Appendix 2 for restatement of Flowing gas to surface is a key trigger to commence converting prospective resources into contingent resources. Elixir will now work with its independent resource certifiers to obtain an initial contingent resource certification from the deep coals.

The process of conversion of all of the prospective resources will require more data from new wells which achieve a similar coal flow outcome in the broader Taroom Trough.

The next phase of the Daydream-2 program involves milling out all the plugs that separate the six separate stimulated zones in the Permian section of the well. A flow test will then be conducted from all the zones together.

The timing of any announcements to the market on this flow test will depend on factors such as the period of the flow-back of stimulation fluid, multi-fluid slugging behaviours, etc, and will likely take some weeks.

Recent stimulation operations at Daydream-2

Elixir’s Managing Director, Mr Neil Young, said: “This is a fantastic outcome for Elixir and the overall Taroom Trough. It has long been recognized that the deep coals here contain many trillions of cubic feet of gas in place2 (see Appendix 3 for disclosures required under ASX Listing Rule 5.25.3) – and now we have demonstrated that some part of that can be flowed to surface. We consider this is just the start of an incredible journey of bringing on the very large new sources of gas that Australia vitally needs.”

5 Best-performing Canadian Oil and Gas Stocks in 2024

Oil prices faced volatility through Q3 due to a mix of rising supply and weak global demand, with Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices softening.

Weaker demand, particularly from China amid low manufacturing activity and a struggling real estate sector, combined with production increases from non-OPEC+ nations like the US prevented any lasting price growth.

After reaching a Q3 peak of US$87.39 for Brent and US$83.93 for WTI early in the quarter, both benchmarks declined, ending September down by roughly 15 percent.

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

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.
