Corporate presentation summary
13 Oct, 2026Asset position and resource
~48,700 net acres in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (TMS) at end-September 2026, including 40,800 HBP acres and 160 net future well locations.
Independent 2C contingent oil resource estimate of 62,156 Mbbl; the TMS covers 20.4 million acres and has a USGS mean estimated recoverable resource of 1.5 billion bbls and 4.6 tcf.
The TMS Core was delineated by Encana’s 27-well program in 2011–2014; early activity had identified variable results outside the Core.
2014-vintage TMS Core wells competed with major shale basins on oil productivity; presentation analysis cites an average 26% technology-driven uplift across major basins from 2014 to 2021.
Farmout and financing
Development partner agreed to a work program of up to US$46.25 million, carrying a 20% working interest; completion earns the partner an 80% interest in ~46,100 net acres.
A US$1 million leasing program carries a 20% working interest; leases revert if the partner does not complete its farm-in obligations. A further US$1 million is payable if the first well is not drilled and completed by 31 October 2026.
An area of mutual interest covers a substantial part of the TMS Core, with a 20% participation right in additional leases secured within it.
Sold 90% of wellbore-only interests in existing PDP inventory for US$16.9 million, effective 1 July 2025; proceeds enabled full repayment of Macquarie credit facilities at year-end 2025.
Cash balance was US$11.2 million at 30 June 2026, with no debt and a non-operated production interest in 48 producing wells.
Drilling progress
Three TMS wells have permits for 10,000 ft laterals: Willson 1H, Mathieu 1H and Baker 1H; the development partner approved Willson 1H as the first carried well.
Q4 2026 spud remains the target, subject to rig availability; long-lead casing, production equipment and storage tanks have been ordered, with contractors being selected for key services.
Willson 1H will include a data acquisition program; the carried land-leasing program is nearing completion, after which new leases fall under AMI provisions.
The planned wells are intended to restart TMS development activity, with drilling described as the first since 2022.
