Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd (AIM:MSMN) chief executive Andy Carroll hailed a “significant year” for the company, as it released its final results for the twelve months to 30 June 2024.
Carroll, who took the reins during the period, put the spotlight on the explorer's pivot to focus on helium and hydrogen opportunities.
Mosman also progressed efforts to divest non-core oil production interests in Texas.
Looking ahead, Mosman aims to start drilling at its helium projects before the end of 2024.
"It has been a significant year for Mosman as we delivered on our corporate plan to turn our focus towards helium opportunities,” Carroll said in the statement.
"This pivot has been made possible by the hard work of the team who have now built a strong foundation upon which we can now grow the business and capitalise on the exciting opportunities ahead of us.
"I would like to once again thank shareholders for their continued support during a year of significant change and reemphasise our confidence in the future of the business."
The results
In its financial results for the year ending June 30, Mosman reported gross production of 47,245 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), with net production of 16,340 BOE attributable to Mosman.
Revenue for the year totalled AU$186,232, resulting in a gross profit of AU$76,362, whilst the company registered a net loss of AU$2.10 million.
Shifting focus
During the period, Mosman acquired a 10% working interest in the Vecta Helium Project in Colorado, as part of its move into the helium.
Mosman now anticipates it will start drilling the first of five planned helium wells at Vecta in December 2024.
Post-period, Mosman completed the sale of its Stanley project, which, together with a £1.5 million equity raise, is expected to fund Mosman’s share of the Vecta drilling, along with planned seismic acquisition on EP-145, in Australia, and progress additional helium project evaluations.
