20 June 2024asset acquisition disposition▲ GoodMajor
Elixir was named Queensland Government preferred tenderer for licence PLR2023-1-7 (526 km2), next to Grandis. The 152 km2 Taroom Trough part adds 14% to its acreage there. 100% interest and no domestic gas reservation; the final permit still needs environmental and native title steps.
Condor Energy has been engaged to finish the remaining Daydream-2 stimulation stages, restarting late July or early August. Debris from the stuck bridge plug tool is cleared. This resolves the May equipment problem; flow testing of all zones is aimed for August.
Re-release of the 26/27 May contingent resource announcement, adding a Daydream-1/-2 location map and expanding Appendix 1 notes. Figures are unchanged: 2C gas 1,297 Bcf, up 328% from 395 Bcf. The earlier release should not be relied on.
ERCE certified Grandis 2C contingent resources at 1,297 Bcf, up 328% from 395 Bcf in 2022 (1C 405, 3C 4,290 Bcf). Sandstones only; coals excluded. The key contingency remains flow rate, with the upper zones untested.
QEC presentation on Project Grandis showing about 1,132M shares, A$12M cash including R&D, and a market cap of A$125M at 11c. Repeats known resource figures; no new results.
The Lorelle Sandstone was stimulated and cleaned up; modelling suggests it alone could flow commercially, with breakeven estimated at 2.5 MMscf/d. A stuck bridge-plug setting tool and equipment commitments forced demobilisation; the other five stages resume in about a month.
At Elixir's request, shares were placed in voluntary suspension pending an update on the design, timing and intended outcomes of the Daydream-2 stimulation. Follows a trading halt request dated 24 April.
Halliburton began the six-stage stimulation at Daydream-2 on 18 April, targeting two coal zones, three tight gas zones and the Lorelle Sandstone. Flow testing follows and will feed a revised resource assessment.
QUPEX presentation repeating the Taroom Trough gas market and Grandis story, with the long-term price floor wording raised from A$10 to A$12. No new results.
Daydream-2's Lorelle Sandstone (4,200-4,217 m) flowed gas without stimulation, at a stabilised 1.3 MMscf/d (peak 2.3). This confirms the late-2023 gas kick was no one-off. Stimulation follows within weeks; Daydream-3 is in preliminary planning.
Presentation to the Australian Domestic Gas Outlook Conference on the gas market and the Grandis project's location next to Wallumbilla. It repeats known points; no new results or figures.
A coiled tubing unit is cleaning out Daydream-2 ahead of diagnostic tests, with stimulation of 6 zones by Halliburton in April-June, then flow tests. Net sandstone pay revised up from 154 m to 180 m after external review. Nomgon-10 got a bigger pump.
Half-year to 31 December 2023: net loss of $397k, down from $1.16M, helped by $1M Origin data-sharing income. Cash was $11.2M. $4.9M of R&D tax credits is receivable. Restates known Daydream-2 results.
Prospective resources in the Grandis coals rose to 3.6 Tcf (2U) after adding adsorbed gas, up 2,316 Bcf on the earlier 1,287 Bcf. Coals averaged 23 m3/t, with CO2 about 1%. Stimulation starts mid-April, aiming to convert these to contingent resources.
Lab work on Daydream-2 cuttings found clay rims that preserved porosity above 12% in the deep permeable sands, similar to the Perth Basin. Reservoir pressure is 9,400 psia, 80% above Waitsia. Explains the unexpected free-flowing zone; extent of the zone is still unknown.
February corporate presentation repeating known points: 1,132M shares, A$16M cash including R&D, market cap about A$90M at 8c, and the 395 Bcf 2C resource. Says finding partners is a key 2024 focus. No new results.
Log analysis shows three gas-saturated sandstones (gross about 12 m) in the 4,200 m permeable zone, with porosity above 10% and similarity to Shell's Dunk-1 26 km away. Elixir says the play could be extensive. Diagnostic injection tests in 5 zones start around end of January.
Daydream-2 is cased and suspended and the rig released. Elixir signed Halliburton as lead contractor for its stimulation program after a competitive tender. Physical stimulation work is expected to begin in February, with lab results due in January.
Administrative cleansing notice confirming issue of 76,176,470 placement shares at 8.5c on 19 December, announced on 13 December. No new business information.
Daydream-2 logs show an interpreted 154 m of net gas pay in sandstones (Kianga 78 m, Back Creek 76 m), plus 65 m of gassy coals to be stimulated. Over-pressure is estimated at about 0.69 psi/ft. Well costs are coming in under budget.
13 Dec 2023capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Elixir raised $6.5M via a placement of about 76M shares at 8.5c, a 15% discount to last close, with one listed option (12c, expiring Oct 2026) per three shares. Funds mainly expand Daydream-2 stimulation and testing. No SPP offered, as one ran under 3 months ago.
What it means for a shareholder
76.0m new shares at A$0.085 to raise about A$6.5m. That's 6.7% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 6.7% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (11,765 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00112% to 0.00104% of the company. To keep it you'd need 848 more shares - about A$72 at the issue price.
Daydream-2 reached total depth of 4,300 m, about 100 m deeper than planned, and an unexpected permeable gas zone flowed gas to surface without stimulation (about 50,000 cubic feet flared). Gross gas-bearing interval is 607 m; drilled ahead of schedule and under budget. Origin has paid in full.
Daydream-2 reached the primary Kianga Formation at 3,694 m, ahead of schedule, with gas shows peaking at 777 units, 38 times background. Total depth of about 4,200 m and logging expected within a week. Shows only, not a test result.
Daydream-2 intermediate section reached 2,915 m and is being cased. Logs were acquired for Origin, which is now due to pay Elixir $1M under the agreement. Drilling is on track for about one month to total depth.
