Zephyr Energys interim report for the first half of 2024 shows significant investment in its Paradox Basin project in Utah, USA, with successful drilling and production tests on the State 36-2R well. The companys non-operated Williston Basin project generated revenue of US$13.6 million, covering G&A and finance costs and providing funds for reinvestment. Zephyrs gross borrowings decreased to US$27.9 million by September 6, 2024, and the company expects to receive additional insurance reimbursements and revenue payments soon. The company is in advanced discussions with US-based institutions for wellbore and asset-level investment opportunities to accelerate the Paradox projects development.
