Background

Jesse Discovery
The forthcoming drilling of the Jesse-2 well follows the highly encouraging Jesse discovery (Jesse1A well) which included a >200 foot logged gross gas column (with 101 feet of independently audited net pay) and exceptional helium concentrations of up to 1% returned to surface, exceeding pre-drill expectation4. The Jesse-1A well also encountered a productive and strongly pressured reservoir at 2,465 psi
Jesse-2 Drilling Program
Jesse-2 will exclusively target the gas pay zone(s) to minimize the risk of water production, with the planned total well depth terminating at least 50 feet above the identified gas/water contact at Jesse-1A. The drilling program incorporates managed pressure drilling through the primary
In the event of a successful well, the GSPA provides a path to monetization of the Company's second pure-play helium well, Jesse-2. The GPSA expansion continues a relationship with a proven helium refiner and seller with deep helium processing and marketing experience. The key terms include an 80/20 industry standard revenue split in favour of the producer (GGE) as well as standard tariffs for gathering, compression and processing. The GSPA expansion represents recognition from Paradox of the significant potential of the
Paradox owns over 100,000 net acres and operates over 150 wells in the
Managing Director Dane Lance Commented: 'With the highly encouraging results from Jesse-1A, including a helium grade of 1% greatly exceeding pre-drill expectation, the Company is excited to be back in the field for Jesse-2. The Jesse-2 well engineering has incorporated the lessons learned from the evaluation program on the maiden helium exploration well to minimise risk of water production by staying high in the column. Coupled with the managed pressure drilling program to maximise well deliverability, which also allows preliminary flow evaluation whilst drilling, the drilling of Jesse-2 will be an exciting period for the Company. The compelling fundamental commercial pillars of the
