88 Energy Ltd - Subiaco, Western Australia-based oil and gas company - Says mapping works at its Icewine West project shows "strong potential" for prospective resources. Adds that it intends to begin its farm-out of CY2024 in Leonis, with a view to new drilling in 2025 and 2026. Says it expects a maiden resource estimate for Leonis's USB reservoir in the first quarter of 2024. Notes that a flow test is planned for its Phoenix project, and is set to begin in the first quarter of 2024. Managing Director Ashley Gilbert says: "While our focus is firmly on Project Phoenix, including the upcoming flow testing of Hickory-1 in early Q1 2024, we have also been busy across our broader Alaskan North Slope portfolio. Building on the Hickory-1 drilling success, we are re-evaluating the neighbouring Icewine West potential considering lessons learnt from Hickory-1 and recent near-field results from other operators. We also continue to advance Project Leonis with a view to preparing a maiden prospective resource estimate ahead of targeted farm-out next year and potential drilling of a new well early in the 2025/26 winter season."
