Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) Plc (AIM:EOG) CEO Will Holland talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's submission of a planning application for the Cloughton appraisal well in Yorkshire. The application seeks approval to drill and test a gas field originally discovered in 1986. Holland explained that advancements in technology and improved gas prices now make it viable to extract gas at commercial rates. The appraisal well will determine the feasibility of full-field development. He also discussed the launch of a dedicated community engagement website, designed to provide local stakeholders with transparent information, including independent environmental and regulatory reports. Holland emphasised that the project follows strict UK regulations and aims to minimise environmental impact. Addressing concerns, he clarified that fracking is not involved, citing confirmation from Energy Minister Michael Shanks. He also noted that increased heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic would be minimal, at around 1% during operations. Holland stressed the project's potential benefits, including job creation and reducing the UK's reliance on imported liquefied natural gas (LNG). “If you're concerned about the environment, you should be supporting domestic gas production. And that's exactly what this is,” he stated. For more interviews with industry leaders, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.

GraphEnergyTech CEO Dr Thomas Baumeler discussed a collaboration with the Taiwan Perovskite Solar Corporation, Taiwan’s prestigious Industrial Technology Research Institute and the University of Cambridge. The project is supported by an Innovate UK grant worth nearly £900,000. Known as GETPSC (Graphene Electrode Technology for Perovskite Solar Cells), Baumeler explained that current solar cells rely on expensive silver electrodes, which degrade when in contact with Perovskite Solar Cells. GraphEnergyTech, a Frontier IP Group PLC (AIM:FIPP) portfolio company, aims to replace these with graphene-based electrodes, offering a more stable and cost-effective alternative. "Graphene is one of the most interesting materials out there," he said, highlighting its durability and lower cost compared to silver. Perovskite Solar Cells are considered the next major advancement in photovoltaics due to their efficiency and simpler manufacturing process. However, industrial-scale adoption has been hindered by the lack of a viable nonmetallic electrode—something GraphEnergyTech aims to solve. Baumeler also noted that GraphEnergyTech is working on replacing silver electrodes in traditional silicon-based solar cells while exploring applications for its conductive carbon-based technology in batteries, supercapacitors, and electronics.

Wedgemount Resources CEO Mark Vanry joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update to Proactive on the company's field activities at its recently acquired Huggy Assets. After weather-related delays, Wedgemount has full operations going, including pumping, surface facility optimization, maintenance, chemical treatments, and well workovers. The company's primary focus remains on the Echo and Novice operational areas, where five additional wells have been brought back online. These wells had been inactive for a significant period before Wedgemount's acquisition. Historical initial production (IP) rates for these wells ranged from 15 to 65 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). Vanry noted that previous successful chemical stimulations on Wedgemount’s Willowbend leases resulted in improved well performance. The company expects similar or better results from workovers and chemical treatments at Huggy, potentially exceeding the original IP rates. Looking ahead, Wedgemount has over 100 additional wells that have yet to undergo chemical stimulation, presenting significant production upside over the next two years. #proactiveinvestors #westmountreosurcescorp #cse #wdgy #otcqb #wdgrf #OilProduction #TexasEnergy #EnergyInvesting #OilandGas #MarkVanry #ProactiveInvestors #EnergyStocks #Investing #OilExploration

Vinyl Group Ltd CEO Josh Simons talked with Proactive's Jonathan Jackson about the company's strong financial growth, recent acquisitions, and future expansion plans. The company recently reported a 770.2% revenue increase in its latest half-year results. Simons highlighted the annual revenue run rate growth from $2 million to $20 million, emphasising that Vinyl Group is executing its aggressive acquisition strategy while optimising operations for profitability. A key topic of discussion was the acquisition of Concrete Playground, a move that expands Vinyl Group’s media and advertising reach. Simons explained that integrating Concrete Playground into the company’s existing infrastructure creates significant cross-selling opportunities whilst also strengthening Vinyl Group's market position. Looking ahead, Simons discussed the global expansion potential of Vinyl Group’s tech platforms. He noted that for the first time, the company’s tech segment outperformed its media business in revenue, signaling a shift toward scalable, international growth. “The pathway we’re on is clear—we’re optimising, moving towards profitability, and laying the groundwork for further expansion,” Simons said.
