Latest Exploration Wells News

88 Energy has upgraded its South Prudhoe Project prospective resources by 35%, adding a maiden Brookian reservoir estimate and increasing Ivishak resources by 44%, setting the stage for its high-impact Augusta-1 well in Alaska next year.

Condor Energy has submitted its application to convert the offshore Tumbes Basin TEA 86 into a Licence Contract, securing 100% ownership and expanding its prospective resources to over 3.3 billion barrels of oil and 1 Tcf of gas.

ADX Energy’s HOCH-1 well in Upper Austria has revealed 4-6 metres of net gas pay across seven intervals in the Base Hall formation, moving closer to production testing after reaching 1685 metres depth.

Xstate Resources reports promising early production from its Diona-1 well in Queensland, with gas and condensate flowing during the flow-back phase following stimulation.

Noble Helium has locked in BoreXpert’s Schramm T130 XD rig for a two-well helium drilling campaign at North Rukwa, Tanzania, with options for two more wells pending initial results. The company aims to validate a promising western margin helium play and advance towards pilot production.

Elixir Energy has successfully completed stimulation and commenced flow testing at its Diona-1 well in Queensland’s Surat-Bowen Basin, with gas and condensate flowing at a notable pressure. The well’s proximity to existing pipeline infrastructure could facilitate rapid commercialisation if further testing confirms sustained production.

ADX Energy’s HOCH-1 well has been deepened to 1619 metres, revealing six new thin gas sand intervals below the primary Hall Formation target. Wireline logging scheduled for 8 May will verify reservoir quality and gas saturation, with production testing to follow if results confirm the discovery’s potential.

D3 Energy has significantly boosted its helium resource estimates in South Africa's Free State with a newly certified 14 BCF helium contingent resource at ER386, lifting combined recoverable helium to 35.6 BCF across its key permits.

ADX Energy’s HOCH-1 exploration well in Upper Austria has encountered gas-filled sands consistent with pre-drill 3D seismic predictions, reinforcing the prospect’s resource potential ahead of upcoming wireline logging and production testing.

ADX Energy is progressing its HOCH-1 shallow gas well in Upper Austria, targeting up to 17.3 BCF of prospective gas resources with drilling at 950 metres depth and plans for two more wells this year.

Elixir Energy has completed stimulation at its Diona-1 well in Queensland’s Surat-Bowen Basin, observing encouraging gas indications ahead of flow testing. The well’s proximity to major pipeline infrastructure could accelerate commercialisation if results hold.

CZR Resources has launched a new drilling campaign at its Croydon Gold Project, focusing on extending known mineralisation and testing for high-grade ore shoots and Hemi-style intrusions. The program leverages recent geological insights and a robust $67 million cash position.
