Star Metro - Oil Production Update

FLORENCE, CO / ACCESS Newswire / February 13, 2025 / AXP Energy Limited (ASX:AXP)(OTC PINK:AUNXF), ('AXP', 'Company') is pleased to provide an update on the growth in oil production at the Company's 100%-owned Pathfinder oil & gas field located in Colorado's Denver-Julesburg ('DJ') Basin, USA.

As per the highlights above, oil production from the Pathfinder Field is increasing as gas is produced from well bores for gas-to-power generation to support Blackhart Technologies' bitcoin mining operations. The Pathfinder #2 well is currently producing 20 BOPD and 280 MCFD of gas from the Niobrara Formation. This demonstrates the ability for additional production to be brought online over the coming months. Total field production now sits at ~50 BOPD and further upside to this is anticipated based on new wells coming online near-term.

Additional gas production from the Amerigo Vespucci well has now been tied into the gas to power operation at the Pathfinder #2 production hub. This well will commence pumping operations as soon as the well head pressure stabilises; expected to occur within the next 7-10 days.

With the ability to also push gas to the Generators, the Pathfinder #1 is now being prepared to be put into production. This well is to be completed in the Greenhorn Formation at about 5,200 feet. The well was recently fracked and capped for future completion after being drilled in 2018. During flowback, after completion of fracture stimulation, the well flowed back 75 barrels of oil during an initial 4-day test with no artificial lift. The initial oil recovery rates during flowback from the Pathfinder #1 represent a great result for AXP, given it marks the first time a well from the Greenhorn Formation has produced in this field.

AXP expected to bring the Pathfinder #1 into production this quarter and other field development activities, such as deepening some existing wells, is also planned for the coming months.

The scale-up of gas-to-power-data centre activities continues to be the key priority for AXP with additional sites planned as the Company looks to establish a new, significant revenue stream as more data centre sites are established.

AXP Director Dan Lanskey commented: "As our gas-to-power operations begin to take shape, AXP is capitalising on extracting greater volumes of enhanced oil production from the Pathfinder Field and the added production from the Pathfinder #2 well represents our first in phase in growing this revenue stream. We expect to bring the Pathfinder #1 well on in the coming weeks and we have more activities planned beyond this. The results from this well are significant steps for AXP as they confirm that we have another productive formation across our leases, the Greenhorn. Recent transactions for acreage in the DJ Basin underscores the potential value we can unlock as new production is proved up. With multiple stacked producing formations, this should show an increase in our Proven and Probable Reserves across our leases during the end of year review.

"Alongside our oil operations, we continue to focus on scaling up gas-to-power-data centre operations which will rapidly morph into a meaningful new revenue stream for AXP. The first site is performing well and we anticipate reporting further progress very soon. AXP is uniquely placed to repurpose much larger volumes of Pathfinder's gas for in-situ power generation for data centre owners and operators and interest in our operation is building considerably."
