Zephyr Energy PLC, up 13% at 3.6 pence, 12-month range 2.4p-5.75p. The Rocky Mountain region-focused oil and gas company updates on completion and production testing operations on the State 36-2 LNW-CC-R well at its project in the Paradox Basin, Utah.

Adds that the pressure response suggests the wellbore has good connections to the highly pressured Cane Creek reservoir. Looking ahead, Zephyr ‘will shortly commence production testing’ with plans to deploy a fibre optic cable which will gather data to help it ‘further understand the production capacity of the reservoir and to optimise stimulation techniques for future operations’. ‘The company continues to anticipate that initial production test results will be available by the end of April 2025, subject to weather and vendor schedules,’ Zephyr notes.
