The PEL 93 joint venture applied to enter the Second Renewal Exploration Period from 3 October 2026, proposing at least one exploration well and relinquishing 50% of the area. Prospect 9 is confirmed as top target; ReconAfrica's nearby Kavango West 1X flows support the basin. Renewal is not yet granted.
Half-year to 30 June 2026: net loss A$1.78m (A$20.5m a year earlier), cash A$8.2m, no debt. Capitalised exploration assets are A$79.1m. Income was mainly interest and Burgundy amendment fees; no production.
June quarter report: cash A$8.2m at 30 June. Restates the 768.9 MMbbl South Prudhoe upgrade, the Augusta-1 rig and camp, and the PEL 93 amendment. Formal award of 14 fall leases (34,301 net acres) came on 15 July 2026, resolving the pending lease award.
Augusta-1 on track for Q1 2027 spud, with the location finalised and a Nabors 58-man camp contracted alongside the rig. It targets 133.7 MMbbl gross 2U (111.4 net), 48% chance of success. Farm-out talks continue with multiple parties; funding is not yet secured.
South Prudhoe gross 2U prospective resource was raised to 768.9 MMbbl (640.7 net), up from 507 MMbbl gross in February. It adds a maiden 181.5 MMbbl Brookian estimate and lifts the north-west Ivishak estimate about 44% to 69.9 MMbbl. Augusta-1 now targets up to 133.7 MMbbl.
PEL 93 farm-in amended: 88E's 20% interest is now fully earned and unconditional, and Stage 2 and 3 obligations are cancelled, cutting minimum exposure by about US$15m. Monitor's survey interpretation confirms Lead 9 as a drilling candidate. This resolves the earlier staged-funding thread.
Nordic Rig-3 contracted for Augusta-1 (64 MMbbl 2U gross at the time), with a US$395k commitment fee. Spud is planned for Q1 2027 winter, still subject to funding via a farm-out. This delivers the rig contract targeted for Q2 2026.
88E extended Burgundy's Phoenix funding deadline to 30 September 2026, as Burgundy's US IPO review ran longer. Burgundy pays US$100k now plus US$300k toward the Icewine data, and 88E gets lease security. Franklin Bluffs-1H spud slips to Q1 2027 (previously Q3 2026).
March quarter report: cash A$5.5m at quarter end, about A$10m pro forma with the A$5.0m placement received in April. South Prudhoe farm-out, Augusta-1 planning and the Phoenix well (H2 2026 at that point) progressed; PEL 93 gravity survey completed. Restates known items.
88 Energy obtained the Kad River 3D seismic dataset covering all seven Kad River East leases (~17,920 acres, 100% WI). Interpretation is planned for H1 2026, with a maiden prospective resource estimate expected 2H 2026. This delivers the 3D purchase flagged for March.
Permitting and planning started for Augusta-1, targeting 64 MMbbl (2U gross) in Ivishak and Kuparuk, with three possible locations. Rig contract expected Q2 2026, spud Q1 2027, subject to funding. Farm-out is targeted for Q3 2026, with multiple parties in the data room.
