| Zephyr has announced an increase in its operated land position through the acquisition of an additional 1,920 acres (the ‘new acreage’) in the Paradox Basin, Utah (the ‘Paradox’), while also providing an update on its State 16-2LN-CC operations and upcoming Paradox drilling programme. This prime new acreage, which is already located under Zephyr’s 3D seismic, not only adds valuable locations and resources, but also secures an immediate opportunity to complete a longer and more effective lateral at the upcoming State 36-2 LNW-CC well. The beneficial impact of the latter is expected to be delivered in terms of the well’s production potential and its estimated ultimate recovery. In the meantime, management is focused on recommencing production testing at the State 16-2 LN-CC, for which operational preparations are largely complete with long lead time items well in process. With a planned three well drill programme on the Paradox project expected to commence in 2H 2022, (and with all funding being provided from the Group’s Williston Basin non-operated assets), Zephyr appears set for a further period of intense activity in its run-up to 2023. This is likely to be key to the Group moving closer toward its ultimate goal of unlocking the next great unconventional onshore resource play in the US.
