XState Resources Limited (ASX:XST) has completed wireline logging at Diona 1 and confirmed three intervals of net gas pay totalling 23 metres, validating earlier indications from Logging While Drilling and mud logs. The program reached a final total depth of 2,479 metres after drilling through the Wallabella Formation and basement, with the well then cased and cemented. The combined Bandanna and Black Alley interval shows the thickest gross section, while the Wallabella Sandstone includes confirmed net pay with potential for additional pay that was not fully assessed by the wireline suite. The Tinowon Sandstone adds a further productive interval. Across the pay zones, average porosity is about 10 percent, supporting the case for follow up testing. Managing Director Andrew Bald commented: “We now need to flow test each of the Permian reservoirs and we are very optimistic that we could see more upside from the unlogged Wallabella formation. Production testing will confirm flow rates from what could be a new gas discovery.” Key details: 💡 Three zones of net gas pay confirmed 💡 23m of net pay with average porosity around 10 percent 💡 Wallabella Formation offers upside from Logging While Drilling and mud logs 💡 Final total depth of 2,479m achieved, well cased and cemented 💡 Location benefits from immediate access to nearby pipeline and processing infrastructure Project context: Diona 1 targeted the Showgrounds, Tinowon and Wallabella reservoirs in the Surat Bowen Basin.

Technology, Not Cost-Cutting, Is the Key to Unlocking Permian Profitability At this year’s Hart Energy DUG Permian Conference & Expo, industry leaders delivered a clear message: the path to higher recovery and stronger well economics isn’t through cutting costs, it’s through smarter technology adoption. Panelists emphasized that while trimming drilling budgets may offer temporary relief, it often comes at the expense of production potential and long-term asset value. In contrast, operators that invest in advanced drilling tools, automation, and intelligent reservoir modeling are consistently achieving higher returns and operational resilience. Key takeaways from DUG Permian: - Reducing drilling program budgets typically limits well performance and recovery potential. - Advanced technologies like directional drilling improvements, remote real-time execution and optimization engineering, and digital workflow integration are transforming operational efficiency and reducing non-productive time (NPT). - The data-driven operators of today are recovering more oil per well, optimizing completion strategies, and minimizing downtime across the field. As the Permian Basin continues to lead the U.S. in output, the most successful operators will be those who see technology not as an expense, but as a multiplier of performance, profitability, and long-term sustainability. #OilAndGas #PermianBasin #DigitalOilfield #DrillingInnovation #Automation #ArtificialIntelligence #WellOptimization #EnergyTechnology #ReservoirModeling #DirectionalDrilling #AltitudeEnergyPartners #RealTimeOperations #DataDrivenDecisions #OperationalExcellence #UpstreamOilAndGas #HartEnergy #DRaaSCommand #EnergyLeadership Geek Mode Initiated: https://lnkd.in/g57vKaYN https://lnkd.in/gGjh6mC9 https://lnkd.in/geBBCSN5 https://lnkd.in/gT9vxXqV https://lnkd.in/gFG2By7c https://lnkd.in/gHrhXZzE https://lnkd.in/gRZrGrW8 https://lnkd.in/gRued8UT https://lnkd.in/gCauB5hH https://lnkd.in/g4ycTC3S https://lnkd.in/gHrBmwGZ https://lnkd.in/gCauB5hH
