Highlights
• Murfin rig 116 has mobilised to McCoy 1 and is rigging up to drill, well is on track
to spud later this week.
• McCoy 1 was selected to drill based on encouraging results from Sue Duroche 3,
located on the same geological structure on the Nemaha Ridge.
• McCoy 1 is a milestone for the Company as it moves away from "twinning”
historical wells to data-driven well locations based on geological understanding
and inhouse intellectual property.
• Workover rig has arrived at Blythe 13-20 to convert it to an appraisal well with
installation of downhole monitoring equipment taking place this week.
HyTerra Limited (HyTerra or the Company) has increased the number of wells it
will drill between April and July 2025 at the Nemaha Project in Kansas, USA from two to three. This
exploration program funding is sourced from an investment in the Company by Fortescue Future
Industries Technologies Pty Ltd.
McCoy 1 spudding this week
Murfin Rig 116 has arrived at McCoy 1 location and is in the process of rigging up. McCoy 1 well
will spud in later this week. McCoy 1 is located on the same geological structure on the Nemaha
Ridge as Sue Duroche 3, with the decision to drill based on encouraging results seen in Sue
Duroche 3.
The drilling of McCoy 1 is a milestone for the Company as it moves away from "twinning” historical
wells to a data-driven process for selecting well locations based on geological understanding and
inhouse IP. McCoy 1 drill site location was identified by interpretation of the Company’s Xcalibur
Airborne Gravity Gradiometry and Magnetic survey acquired in 2023, and legacy seismic data
purchased and reprocessed in 2025.
Blythe 13-20 conversion to appraisal well
The workover rig arrived at Blythe 13-20 on Monday and will begin the process of cleaning the well
up and installing downhole monitoring equipment to provide information to assist in the design of
an initial testing program planned to be after all the wells have been drilled and the subsurface data
has been analysed.
