Europa Oil & Gas still aiming to increase Wressle flow rate

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) PLC

Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) PLC (AIM:EOG) chief executive William Holland speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after the exploration and production company released a production update from its 30% owned PEDL180/182 licence at the Wressle oil field in Lincolnshire. Holland starts by detailing the journey from introducing a jet pump in November, which technically enabled a production potential of over 1,000 barrels a day, to achieving a stable production rate of 550 barrels daily. This stability, however, was initially constrained by the surface pump's operation and water handling capacity. Addressing the challenges of water production, a common occurrence in oil wells, Holland explained the necessity of the jet pump. It was installed to manage the increased hydrostatic pressure caused by water, thereby maintaining oil flow. Despite the pump's effectiveness in boosting oil production, limitations arose due to the lack of adequate facilities for water disposal. A breakthrough came with the Environment Agency's permit, received on December 14th, allowing for proper water disposal. This development has enabled Europa Oil & Gas to gradually increase production rates, currently around 680 barrels per day, with an emphasis on cautious reservoir management and optimisation. Holland emphasises the importance of balancing water handling, avoiding additional water production, and adhering to gas flaring limits. The company aims to increase production further, with careful consideration of reservoir health and maximising recovery rates. The CEO also touched on Europa Oil & Gas’s other ventures, particularly the Cloughton project. He hinted at potential announcements regarding new drilling locations in collaboration with the Duchy of Lancaster. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

Halicioglu says Pantheon Resources has been making headlines with its Kodiak and Ahpun oil projects, covering an impressive 160,000 acres and boasting an estimated 1.481 billion barrels of recoverable oil. The company's 100% working interest and commitment to sustainable development are key factors in their strategic growth trajectory. They aim for a market value of $5-10 per barrel by 2028, supported by a substantial $25 billion phased investment. Halicioglu notes an anticipated 337% return, translating to an impressive annual rate of around 34% in the competitive oil and gas sector. Pantheon's consistent revenue growth and robust asset base, coupled with strategic investments and financial acumen, position them strongly in the $5.3 trillion global oil and gas exploration and production market. However, risks such as liquidity challenges and broader market dynamics like regulatory changes and global economic factors were also discussed. Despite these concerns, Halicioglu says Pantheon's solid financial performance and market position somewhat mitigate these risks. Key to Halicioglu's valuation is the absolute valuation approach, considering intrinsic value for long-term investment analysis. This method offers a comprehensive view of Pantheon's worth, considering its assets, market position, and growth prospects, providing a clear picture for potential investors.

Blockchain Ticketing Platform UTIX Lists Its Token on Uniswap

UTIX

Blockchain ticketing platform UTIX is listing its native token on Uniswap. The UTX token will now be traded onchain via Uniswap’s AMM and from DEX aggregators that utilize Uniswap liquidity. By making UTX tradable on Uniswap, UTIX will increase access to its native token and e-ticketing ecosystem. On December 21st, the UTX token will be added to Uniswap, the leading Ethereum decentralized exchange. A UTX-ETH liquidity pool will be created, and allow users to purchase UTX using ETH and other popular tokens. As an ERC20 token, UTX can be traded non-custodially on Uniswap and through aggregators such as 1inch and DefiLlama Swap. Uniswap has become the first DEX where UTX can be swapped. Its addition follows a recent listing on BitMart, giving holders a choice of centralized and decentralized platforms to trade. In addition to buying and selling the token on Uniswap, UTX holders can add liquidity, allowing them to receive a percentage of swap fees while retaining ownership of their tokens. UTX is at the heart of the e-ticketing platform that UTIX has developed. It aims to solve many of the long-standing problems with event ticketing. The industry is afflicted by touting and price gouging that reward middlemen while pricing fans out of seeing the artists they love. UTIX is creating a digital ticketing ecosystem in which buyers and sellers can exchange tickets through a transparent P2P marketplace. Built on the Ethereum network, UTIX allows event organizers to create fully customizable ticketing solutions. Smart contracts are used to control the sale of tickets, supporting a fair ticketing market that ensures fans aren’t priced out of attending events. The platform is free for event organizers to use, with UTIX charging only a small fee on tickets sold. The UTX token plays a pivotal role in incentivizing the adoption of the UTIX platform and rewarding positive behaviors. Users who purchase tickets on UTIX are rewarded with UTX, which can also be used to earn discounts on future purchases. From the perspective of event organizers, UTIX allows control over the secondary market, preventing touts from reselling tickets for a premium. The use of blockchain also prevents fakes by providing an immutable ledger that tracks legitimate tickets. By abstracting blockchain components, UTIX delivers a web3 platform that feels like a web2 application. This ensures there is no learning curve required to access its e-ticketing solution and to interact with the smart contracts that power it. The addition of UTX to Uniswap will maintain UTIX’s close ties to the Ethereum ecosystem while onboarding new users to its e-ticketing platform. About UTIX UTIX is a blockchain-based online e-ticketing platform that enables event organizers across the world to sell online tickets with minimal hassle and greater control. Powered by Ethereum, UTIX aims to eliminate the efficiencies associated with legacy e-ticketing platforms through the use of smart contracts. Users and event organizers will be unaware they are using the blockchain, yet by harnessing its unique capabilities, UTIX allows full control of event-specific variables that would otherwise be impossible. In addition to eliminating the threat of counterfeits, UTIX provides a way to set the secondary market price for e-tickets, permanently solving the problem of ticket touts who routinely try to sell tickets at a massive markup.

Why Has The Solana Price Dipped? This New Altcoin Has The Community Buzzing

Total Media

On 9th November we saw Solana hit $77, dipping to $64 on 13th November and currently standing at $72. Many Solana investors ask themselves why the dip happened. Is there a new altcoin that could rise despite the crypto market being down? Solana (SOL): Following the King With Bitcoin reaching the year's high at $44,620, many coins followed its surge. Solana followed with a 38% rise during the last month. Double that of Bitcoin with its 18%: However, the 11th December correction pushed Bitcoin down to $40,500. Although Solana has many benefits of its own, everything that happens with BTC echoes throughout the crypto community. As Bitcoin corrects itself to $40,500, Solana hits $68. We can also see Solana's second dip on the 13th, down to a week low of $64. This matches the Bitcoin price dip back to $40,800. As Bitcoin grows 4.7% today, Solana is up 10.14%. Every altcoin, even Solana, heavily depends on the SEC and ETF resolutions. However, until then, when BTC goes down, Solana will likely follow. Bitcoin, Solana, and other cryptos have fairly tied their fate together. Everlodge (ELDG): A New Altcoin That Surges Independently of Bitcoin There’s a new surging altcoin that isn’t as tied to Bitcoin as Solana and other altcoins. Everlodge is based on real estate and physical properties, making it dependent on real-world income streams instead of price speculation. Everlodge is the Airbnb of crypto. Villas and hotels are minted into fractionalized NFTs sold on an open market. Investors in those properties earn passive income from the renting profits. This feature makes Everlodge more resistant to Bitcoin dips since the passive income remains the same regardless of Bitcoin's price. If Bitcoin were to disappear, Everlodge would still be here shooting passive profits to your wallet. At the same time, Everlodge gains popularity as crypto does as well. Because of the additional interest in the project, Bitcoin's growth makes Everlodge grow as well. This makes Everlodge unique in its feature of benefiting from Bitcoin growth while also avoiding being brought down when Bitcoin is falling. You can purchase fractions of real estate instead of a whole house and still enjoy the perks of being an owner. By holding the ERC-20 token you can even earn free stays in properties across the ecosystem. This approach that guarantees passive income has been hailed by many for its dip-resistant features. While also holding a huge growth potential in the $300 trillion real estate market. Because of these features, analysts are predicting it is going to hit $0.035 during the presale phase and hit x30 at the launch date. It won’t be available at these prices for long as the presale moves forward. Visit the official Everlodge website before these low prices are no longer available.
