Westmarket Oil
& Gas Pty Ltd, Georgina Energy's wholly owned operating
subsidiary is anticipating the well re- entry program commencing in
December 2024, subject the granting of a Drilling Permit from
DEMIRS.
·
The company plans
to extend the original well drilled in 1982 to 2040m TD to 3400m to
penetrate the subsalt Townsend Formation, the subsalt target
reservoir which has been independently assessed to host large
volumes of Helium, Hydrogen and gaseous hydrocarbon prospective
recoverable resources.
·
Previous
exploration wells drilled in the 1980's in the Officer Basin
targeted oil and did not penetrate the now targeted subsalt
Townsend Formation; the basal sandstone of the Officer Basin which
is the lateral equivalent to the Helium, Hydrogen and gaseous
hydrocarbon bearing Heavitree Formation in the Amadeus Basin; both
basins being sub-basins of the Neoproterozoic Centralian
Superbasin.
·
The Company is
currently completing the required process for engineering design,
HSE and environmental approvals as well as meeting its obligations
under the Native Title Land Access agreement.
·
The re-grading of
the immediately adjacent airstrip along with site preparations is
proceeding as planned.
·
The Company and its
consultants have also determined that the Hussar 1 wellhead top
plate has an inspection valve fitted which will be inspected by
Aztech for any possible pressure buildup prior to
re-entry.
·
Aztech's Senior
Well Engineer, Connie Callison, has been assigned to work with the
Company's technical team. She has extensive and comprehensive
specialist experience in well intervention, drilling and
completions, having previously worked for Chevron in both Australia
and the USA.
·
Georgina Energy has
clearly stated its aspirations to become a global partner in the
Helium and Hydrogen market and this program forms a critical part
of its well re-development program.
Anthony Hamilton,
Chief Executive Officer of Georgina Energy, commented:
"Georgina Energy
has spent the past five years investing over GBP6.5million, with
GBP2.5million contributed by the Directors, to develop its strategy
of well re-development in Australia. This program aims to achieve
positive outcomes in the exploration for natural gas, hydrogen and
helium. The execution of the Hussar contract marks the first
step in proving this concept."

Notes to
Editors
Georgina Energy
aims to become a leading player in the global energy market and is
focused on establishing itself among the top producers of Helium
and Hydrogen worldwide. With a strategic approach and leveraging
the experienced management team's expertise, Georgina Energy aims
to capitalize on opportunities in these critical energy
sectors.
The projects
benefit from established infrastructure and a reliable supply
chain, offering significant resource potential through low-risk,
cost-effective drilling projects.
Georgina Energy has
two principal onshore interests held through its wholly owned
Australian subsidiary, Westmarket Oil & Gas. The first,
the Hussar Prospect is located in the Officer Basin in Western
Australia and Westmarket O&G holds a 100% working interest in
the exploration permit. Georgina also has a right to earn an
initial 75% interest (with the potential to extend to 90%) in a
second prospect, EPA155 Mt Winter Prospect, is located in the
Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory, subject to the granting of
the permit application.
In line with market
demand trends, Georgina Energy is well-positioned to capitalize on
the growing gap between supply and demand for Helium and Hydrogen
with the independently verified prospective recoverable resource
potential of the Hussar and Mt Winter projects.
