what happened

88 Energy Ltd said it has secured a farm-out. Under this arrangement a partner funds part of the work and takes a stake in the project. The deal delivers A$15.5M towards the drilling programme for the Augusta-1 well.

The information was published by Reuters, citing the company's own announcement.

why it matters

For markets the news is local: the sum is modest, and 88 Energy shares sit in the segment of small exploration companies. The funding lowers the risk of a shortfall for drilling, but for investors the well's results will remain the main driver.
