Revenue model

1. Oil and Gas Production Sales: Revenue generated from the sale of crude oil produced from the Presidio Oil Project. Oil is sold by truck delivery to the El Paso Oil Refinery (135,000 barrels per day processing capacity) located 170 miles from the project. The company produces light oil of 39 degrees API gravity, similar in composition to Eagle Ford Shale oils.

Expansion highlights2 records

Direct peers

• Elixir Energy: ASX-listed upstream oil and gas explorer with unconventional resource projects. Comparable ASX micro-cap E&P peer in terms of size, stage, and reliance on capital raises to fund development.
• Comet Ridge: ASX-listed small-cap oil and gas exploration and production company. Comparable Australian-listed upstream E&P with similar funding-stage dynamics and unconventional hydrocarbon focus.
• Empire Energy Group: ASX-listed upstream oil and gas company with US-focused exploration and production assets, similar in size and stage to Helios. Comparable micro-cap E&P business model targeting unconventional US shale resources.

Broad incumbents

• Expand Energy (formerly Chesapeake Energy): Major US shale gas and oil producer with Haynesville and Eagle Ford assets. Comparable broad incumbent for unconventional shale completion design and gas-condensate well economics applicable to Ojinaga development.
• EOG Resources: Major US independent E&P and recognized shale leader with operations including the Eagle Ford Shale — the benchmark formation Helios compares its Ojinaga discovery to. Provides a comparable template for premium light-crude shale economics.
• Diamondback Energy: Pure-play Permian Basin E&P with significant acreage in the Midland and Delaware sub-basins. Operates in the same West Texas region as Helios and represents the dominant competitive backdrop for shale development capital.
• Pioneer Natural Resources: Permian Basin pure-play operator (now part of ExxonMobil) that set benchmarks for Midland Basin horizontal development economics — relevant comparable for what mature Ojinaga development could look like.
• Devon Energy: US independent E&P with substantial Delaware Basin/Permian acreage. Comparable broad incumbent operating multi-stage horizontal shale development in the same regional play system.
• ConocoPhillips: Large-cap US independent E&P with major Permian Basin and Eagle Ford positions. Relevant incumbent for comparison on shale completion design, well productivity benchmarks, and capital intensity.
• Civitas Resources: US independent E&P with significant Permian and Eagle Ford acreage. Comparable broad incumbent pursuing light-crude shale development in plays adjacent to Helios's Ojinaga target.
