Elixir Energy Front-Runner in Queensland-Based Taroom Trough, Says Euroz Hartleys

MT Newswires Live04-14

Elixir Energy (ASX:EXR) is a key pick to tap the potential of the Taroom Trough, an emerging onshore oil and gas basin in Queensland that is gaining mainstream attention, Euroz Hartleys said Monday in a note.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli last week led federal officials on a visit to the Taroom Trough with operators including Elixir Energy to highlight the basin's potential as a source of energy security.

Elixir, much like the oil giant Shell, which is steering the commercialization of the basin, commenced feasibility work on Friday with APA Group (ASX:APA) on a pipeline linking potential Taroom Trough gas production to the Wallumbilla Gas Hub, improving access to domestic and export markets. Early drilling results from these companies are suggesting encouraging resource potential.

Euroz Hartleys is betting on Elixir as the company trades at about half the valuation of basin peer Omega Oil and Gas (ASX:OMA) despite holding the largest net acreage and resource position in the Taroom. Additionally, Elixir holds a 50% stake in the Diona well, a side project close to the Taroom, which could support small-scale and near-term production if testing is successful.

Euroz Hartleys maintained its speculative buy rating on Elixir Energy and raised its price target to AU$0.28 from AU$0.19.
