Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

ADX Energy ( (AU:ADX) ) just unveiled an update.

ADX Energy has begun mobilising a drilling rig for its Hochfeld-1 shallow gas exploration well in the ADX-AT-I licence in Upper Austria, with spudding expected on 16 April 2026. The company operates the prospect with a 50% economic interest and plans a roughly 14-day drilling and evaluation program to a depth of about 1,430 metres, suspending any successful well for production testing.

HOCH-1 targets Miocene Hall formation sandstones, where offset wells have achieved initial rates of up to 9 million standard cubic feet per day, and the prospect carries a mean prospective resource estimate of 8 BCF, with a high case of 17.3 BCF. The well is the first of three permitted shallow gas wells in 2026 and part of a broader portfolio that includes seven additional matured prospects, positioning ADX to capitalise on elevated European gas prices driven by constrained LNG supply and limits on Russian gas purchases.
