EXR: Daydream-2 Progress Update

Our energy investment Elixir Energy (ASX: EXR), has put out a progress report on their QLD gas project, Daydream-2.

The progress update noted the successful drilling up to 856 metres which is the top-hole section of the total ~4,200 metres drill well. The report also highlighted that a Cultural Heritage & Management Agreement was signed on country, providing a framework for managing “virtually all heritage matters on the permit ATP 2044.”

What is EXR drilling and the goal?

EXR’s Daydream-2 is an appraisal well, targeting a ~395 billion cubic feet contingent resource.

EXR is drilling an appraisal well which means the company is targeting an already discovered hydrocarbon system to try and book a maiden reserve number.

A reserve is typically the last step before a discovery can be commercialised.

EXR’s project sits close to a well that Shell is currently drilling and so we think there is a good chance the oil and gas major is watching what EXR is doing.

EXR’s appraisal well will be aiming to:

• Prove commercially viable flow rates
• Increase EXR’s already large 395 bcf contingent resource.
• Book the project’s first gas reserves (converting contingent resources into reserves).

EXR recently put out a video which tells the full story pretty well, check out that video below:
