Williams 26H-2 (well 4) hit a failed tool and stuck pipe, so it will be completed on about 3,000 ft of lateral, expected at roughly 40% of type curve. Taylor 27H-1 awaits frac; new drilling fluid is planned from well 5. Stewart 30H-1 still ahead of type curve.
27 Feb 2019annual report▲ Good
2018 annual report: net profit US$85,000, year-end cash US$38m, and 110,000 net core acres. Stewart 30H-1 beat the type curve, with January 2019 revenue over US$2m. Reserves and resources total 197 MMbbl; repeats figures already announced.
27 Feb 2019capital raising announcement▲ Good
Tranche 1 of the placement completed: 83.9m shares at A$0.35, about A$29.4m, trading from 28 February. The chairman's and a director's A$1.1m Tranche 2 still needs AGM approval. Pro forma cash after both is stated as US$59m.
What it means for a shareholder
83.9m new shares at A$0.350 to raise about A$29.4m. That's 8.6% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 8.6% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (2,857 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000319% to 0.000292% of the company. To keep it you'd need 267 more shares - about A$93 at the issue price.

Stewart 30H-1 began flowback on 29 December 2018, with early production 'encouraging and in line with expectation'. Bergold 29H-2 has a casing restriction that blocked plug drill-out, so it is not representative of expected productivity and needs later remedial work.
