• ADX has increased its aggregated prospective gas resource estimates for its Sicily Channel permit from 103–369–772 bcf to 188–484–1,265 bcf (P90–P50–P10 cases). The new mean prospective resource of 619 bcf reflects the increased upside potential for the permit. • Individual prospect sizes range between 37–111 bcf (P50 case), with four prospects each estimated at 60–68 bcf (P50). • The updated volumes reflect representative reservoir parameters from the nearby Lippone-Mazara onshore producing g...
Arrow Exploration (AXL LN/CN)C; Target price of £0.40 per share: Another positive result at Mateguafa Attic – The M-6 vertical well has encountered 30 ft of net oil pay in the Carbonera C9 formation (previously named Guadalupe). This compares favourably with the results of the M-5 well that encountered ~ 26 feet of net oil pay in the same formation. This result provides a strong foundation for the first horizontal well at Mateguafa (M-HZ7), already spudded and expected to come onstream in Decemb...
The UK government has announced a new tax regime to replace the Energy Profits Levy in 2030, and an updated licencing policy to facilitate new tiebacks to existing developments. While that means the EPL will remain in place until March 2030, we would expect that the long-term stability that this provides for UK fiscal terms, alongside the incentive for producers to expend CAPEX during the remaining EPL period, should underpin FID on JOG’s Buchan project in due course.
