Latest Oil And Gas News

Grand Gulf Energy has reported a sharply wider FY2026 loss after impairing $15.03 million of Red Helium exploration assets. The auditor also flagged material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue without further capital.

Invictus Energy has entered FY2027 with A$10.89 million in cash and a funded November drilling target, but its annual report warns that further financing may be required to continue operations. The company also reported a wider A$6.54 million loss for FY2026.

Tamboran Resources has delivered first gas from the Beetaloo Basin into the Northern Territory network, while completing its Sturt Plateau compression facility about US$9 million below forecast. The commercial milestone remains an early-stage start: volumes are demand-limited and commissioning is still underway.

Australian Oil Co has appointed Tom Streitberg as Executive Chairman for three years, with the incoming chair committing $300,000 to the company. The deal also introduces a substantial equity-based remuneration package and potential dilution for shareholders.

Lowell Resources Fund has secured $3.207 million through its Security Purchase Plan, taking total new units issued across its August capital raising to about 7.5 million. The announcement also contains a material mismatch between the stated placement proceeds and the reported combined fundraising total.

Brookside Energy has started stimulation work on two wells at its Suttles Pad in Oklahoma, with 64 stages planned before drill-out, flowback and production. The milestone brings the company’s approximately 70% working interest in the development closer to first sales, although no production date or volume guidance was provided.

Galilee Energy will begin sidetracking the Zydeco-1 well on 28 September to test five shallow oil zones in Louisiana. The A$3.5 million program is funded, but any move into production still depends on drilling, evaluation and flow-test results.

Strike Energy has moved South Erregulla into final commissioning and lifted West Erregulla’s net 2P reserves by about 20%, but the project-heavy year came with sharply lower earnings and operating cash flow. The company is now relying on execution, financing and new production to convert a larger asset base into cash generation.

Bass Oil’s Bunian 6 well has confirmed oil in a previously unproduced zone, with the company targeting a potential threefold increase in Tangai-Sukananti field production. August sales also improved as Cooper Basin exports resumed, while Vanessa and Kiwi advanced toward future gas development.

Bounty Oil & Gas NL (ASX:BUY) is pursuing a 2,322 km² deepwater exploration block offshore Liberia, backed by a $3.55 million placement and major vendor-linked securities. The opportunity remains conditional: the block has no executed production sharing contract, no independent resource estimate and has not yet been reviewed directly by Bounty.

Galilee Energy has shifted the Zydeco-1 sidetrack from its original gas-condensate focus to five shallow oil zones carrying up to 422.6 thousand barrels of gross unrisked Prospective Resources. The A$3.5 million placement is expected to fund the revised oil testing and potential production design.

Otto Energy delivered a sharp rise in FY26 profit and operating cash flow, but the improvement came alongside falling production, depleted reserves and an unresolved asset monetisation plan. The debt-free oil and gas producer is now weighing a shareholder cash return while pursuing separate strategies for SM 71 and GC 21.
