Brookside Energy (ASX:BRK) has unveiled its comprehensive strategy for 2025, building on its performance in 2024 and aiming to enhance its footprint in the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma. The company plans to focus on inventory growth and an advanced drilling program to drive production and maximize efficiency across its operations.
Expanding Drilling Inventory
One of the cornerstone efforts for Brookside Energy in 2025 is expanding its inventory of low-cost, high-margin drilling locations within the Anadarko Basin, particularly in the SWISH area of interest. The company has made strides by securing a fifth Drilling Spacing Unit (DSU), extending its inventory beyond its current four-year drilling plan. This strategic move underscores Brookside's commitment to unlocking long-term value from its asset base.
Advanced Drilling Programs
Brookside Energy's targeted drilling program for 2025 includes three new horizontal wells, each featuring 10,000-foot lateral designs. The first well is expected to commence drilling in the first quarter of 2025, with groundwork already in progress. The subsequent two wells, which will focus on the newly acquired DSU, are scheduled for the third quarter. These efforts aim to enhance production efficiency while optimizing geological, geophysical, and reservoir data to develop underutilized regions of the basin.
Production and Financial Forecasts
Brookside Energy has outlined robust projections for 2025, anticipating a significant increase in production levels. The company expects net production to double compared to pre-Fully Developed Field Management Plan (FMDP) levels and grow by approximately one-third over 2024. A capital expenditure budget of USD $18.3 million supports these goals, with an EBITDA forecast of USD $18.0 million. These projections assume oil prices at USD $75 per barrel for WTI crude and natural gas at USD $2.50 per Mcf.
Five-Year Strategic Outlook
Brookside Energy is also set to present its updated five-year strategic plan through a webinar in early 2025. This plan will provide stakeholders with insights into its approach for sustainable growth and enhanced value creation.
With its strategic focus on inventory expansion, cutting-edge drilling, and leveraging geological expertise, Brookside Energy (BRK) continues to strengthen its position within the Anadarko Basin, solidifying its role as a prominent player in the energy sector.
