Gas bores in Upper Austria: ADX dares to take a new attempt!

Molln, Österreich - adx Energy, an Australian-Austrian company, plans to open up new gas deposits in Upper Austria. The company recently applied for exploring an area of ​​around 300 square kilometers near Molln - an area that was already promising in the past. As part of this project, other license areas are to be handed over, which, according to ADX, will not cause any additional costs. This was also mentioned in a report by OE24.at, which indicates that the company's license structure has been optimized to open up new growth opportunities.

The planned drilling in the Molln region could start at the end of 2025 or early 2026, but the project is still subject to the permits by the assembly authority and possible nature conservation laws that may be necessary by the state or the district administration. Critics such as the Nature Conservation Association of Upper Austria already express concerns and emphasize the contradictory nature of the promotion of fossil fuels in view of the efforts to protect climate protection. Bernhard Schön, a representative of the Nature Conservation Association, described the plans as a "bad sign" in the efforts against climate change, as reported.

potential and infrastructure

According to ADX, the analysis using a new 3D ACI models shows that the potential in the region remains intact, which is supported by previous successful gas production results. This production, which already reached remarkable values ​​with up to 4.0 million cubic feet per day in 1989, suggests the existence of economically accessible gas deposits. It is believed that the number of such deposits has tripled since the license adjustment - a fact that makes it easier to connect to the supply network, as is further explained in the reports by ooe.orf.at.
