Highlights

  • Omega Oil and Gas confirms extensive oil and gas presence in Taroom Trough.
  • New Canyon-2 data shows thicker, higher-quality sandstone pay zones.
  • Ongoing tests aim to refine resource estimates and support future development.

Omega Oil and Gas (ASX:OMA) is making significant strides in unlocking the potential of Queensland’s Taroom Trough, a region poised to become a key player in the east coast gas market. Recent positive results from the Canyon project, particularly the Canyon-2 well, are adding confidence to the scale and quality of the resource.

Following the success of the Canyon-1H fracture stimulation and flowback program, where both oil and natural gas were brought to the surface, Omega has expanded its appraisal efforts across the broader Canyon project area. The company is intensifying its focus on acquiring detailed subsurface data, aiming to design an appraisal drilling program that could upgrade the current contingent resources to reserves. This progress marks an important step towards commercial viability.

A notable highlight is the confirmation of oil and gas zones identified initially at Canyon-1, now also found 15.7 kilometres away at Canyon-2. The sandstone pay interval in Canyon-2 is not only thicker but also of higher quality, reinforcing the area’s promise. This extensive oil and gas province is seen as a potential game-changer for the region, which may have meaningful implications for energy supply along the east coast.

To deepen understanding of the resource, Omega has started a Diagnostic Fracture Injection Test (DFIT) program at Canyon-2. This initiative involves a series of tests designed to collect vital geomechanical data and assess pressure levels across multiple zones in the Permian interval. Insights gained will help characterise the stacked pay potential and improve regional correlations, thereby reducing risk and supporting further development planning.

These advancements come as Omega explores commercial pathways for near-term and long-term growth, including partnerships to support funding for appraisal and development activities. The company’s solid cash position underpins these efforts and encourages ongoing discussions with potential collaborators.

Omega’s progress aligns well with interests in ASX dividend stocks and contributes to the evolving landscape of energy-related companies within the ASX200, highlighting the broader market’s focus on sustainable and reliable energy resources.

The latest Canyon-2 results and ongoing DFIT testing underscore Omega Oil and Gas’s commitment to unlocking value in the Taroom Trough, marking a positive development in the energy sector of the ASX200 index.
