Latest Flow Testing News

Xstate Resources ended September with A$676,000 in cash and an estimated 0.97 quarters of funding based on historical outgoings. The company says lower future activity, A$300,000 of receivables and potential equity funding should support operations while Diona-1 flow testing remains under review.

Gold Hydrogen has completed helium flow testing across all three Ramsay wells, confirming reservoir continuity over 2.2 kilometres and average air-corrected helium concentrations of 15.2%. The company is now accelerating modular pilot planning, but its headline 37 Mscf per well per day production figure remains modelled rather than demonstrated.

Beetaloo Energy is approaching a pivotal Q4 milestone, with its Carpentaria Gas Plant moving into final instrumentation and electrical works after Carpentaria-5H sustained an average 6.9 TJ/day flow. The company also ended September with $113.2 million in liquidity and unveiled a longer-term gas-to-power and data centre opportunity near Darwin.

Gulf Stream Energy has identified oil in two separate sandstone zones at its Zydeco project in Louisiana, although the result is based solely on wireline logs and has not yet been flow-tested. The well also retains access to the undrilled Upper Tweedle gas and condensate target.

Core Lithium has moved Finniss into the next phase of its restart, producing first spodumene concentrate and targeting an initial shipment in the December quarter. The company ended September with A$199.7 million in cash, while BP33 development and high-grade exploration continued in parallel.

AXP Energy has launched a 1-for-1 non-renounceable entitlement offer seeking between A$1.2 million and A$2.249 million. The funding could support Oklahoma development, but the prospectus also highlights material going-concern uncertainty, creditor dependence and significant dilution for shareholders who do not participate.

AXP Energy has conditionally agreed to acquire seven previously producing Oklahoma wells, surrounding leases and production infrastructure for US$225,000, with a proposed US$1.05 million recompletion program. The transaction could expand AXP’s Oklahoma footprint and support earlier production, but completion, technical results and abandonment liabilities remain unresolved.

Echelon Resources has completed the Palm Valley 14 appraisal well as a gas producer after a flow test recorded approximately 3 million standard cubic feet per day with no water or oil. First gas is expected before the end of October, with the well forecast to deliver 3-4 terajoules a day once tied in.

Central Petroleum will put PV14 into production despite an initial 3.2 TJ/d flow test that fell below its target and recent Palm Valley wells. Water seen during vacuum flow leaves the well’s sustainable output uncertain as attention shifts to PV15.

ADX Energy has completed encouraging multi-zone testing at its HOCH-1 gas well in Austria and will target at least one deeper reservoir in December. A combined workover program is also expected to lift Vienna Basin production by approximately 100 BOEPD, although both outcomes remain subject to further work.

Elixir Energy has begun the second phase of flow testing at Lorelle-3H after a 60-day reservoir soak, moving the Queensland appraisal well closer to a potential maiden Reserves booking. Success could position the well as a foundation producer for the proposed Warkon Pilot.

Stonehorse Energy returned to profit in FY2026 as Canadian production and oil exposure lifted revenue, while the company sold its US assets after year-end. The next test is whether Drumheller can convert production growth into sustainable cash flow while carrying new debt.
