Petro-Victory Energy Corp CEO Richard Gonzalez joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share key strategic milestones, including new partnerships and acquisitions to strengthen the company’s position in Brazil’s onshore oil and gas sector. The company has entered a strategic partnership with BlueOak Investments to establish a special purpose vehicle (SPV) dedicated to acquiring and developing oil and gas assets across Brazil and Latin America. This partnership combines BlueOak’s financial expertise with Petro-Victory’s operational capabilities to drive sustainable growth. Additionally, Petro-Victory has signed a development agreement with Eneva, one of Brazil’s largest energy operators, securing fully funded commitments for well drilling and seismic exploration. The company also entered a joint venture with ATP, which includes the fully funded drilling of two in-field development wells at the Andorinha Field, along with an option for ATP to acquire interests in Petro-Victory’s assets at pre-determined pricing. The company further expanded its portfolio by acquiring 13 oil-producing fields from Brava Energia S.A., located near existing Petro-Victory concessions. Gonzales reiterated confidence in the company’s long-term strategy, stating, “We have a five-year plan… and we’re very excited about 2025, 2026 and beyond.” Looking ahead, the company’s development plan includes: • A fully funded workover and drilling campaign in the Espirito Santo Basin in 2025. • Full carry on two in-field development wells in the Portiguar Basin in 2025. • Fully funded 3,000-meter gas well and 3D seismic survey to develop the São João Field in 2026. These strategic initiatives position Petro-Victory for significant growth and expansion in Brazil’s energy sector. #proactiveinvestros #prto-victoryenergycorp #tsxv #vry #OilProduction #BrazilEnergy #BrazilEnergy #EnergyInvesting #NaturalGas #OilProduction #Eneva #ATP #BlueOak #CapixabaEnergia #LagoaParda #EnergyPartnerships #ProactiveInve

Lisata Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:LSTA) chief medical officer Dr Kristen Buck discussed the company's newly-announced research license agreement with Catalent with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Buck shared insights into Lisata’s preclinical evaluation of certepetide using Catalent’s SMARTag antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) platform.. She explained that Catalent would assume all R&D costs, while Lisata provides consulting and stands to receive both upfront and potential milestone payments. Certepetide is described as a unique cyclic non-amino acid peptide, designed to bind to receptors commonly found on solid tumors. Upon binding, it transforms to activate a transport mechanism that boosts therapeutic penetration. "It can work with current therapies and emerging therapies," Buck said, emphasizing its compatibility and favorable safety profile. Buck further discussed the growing relevance of ADCs in oncology. She described ADCs as “biological missiles,” targeting tumors while minimizing harm to healthy tissues. When combined with certepetide, ADCs benefit from deeper tumor penetration and potential immunomodulation, making treatment more effective. The company expects initial data from this collaboration before the end of Q2 2025. Positive results could lead to a deeper relationship with Catalent.

Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd CEO Andy Carroll talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a significant milestone at the company’s Sagebrush-1 well, located in the Leadville formation. Carroll revealed that historic gas sample data from 1993 confirms the presence of helium at a concentration of 2.7%, alongside 20% methane. This discovery enables Mosman to transition from exploration to evaluating the commercialisation of the helium resource. “We were actually looking at a possible work-over at the existing well to get a gas sample, but we've got about 30 boxes of data from the previous operator and found in those boxes the original gas sample report,” Carroll said. The gas flow rate from the earlier test was in the range of 152 to 163 thousand cubic feet per day, indicating potential for commercial development. Carroll also noted the strategic benefit of methane being present alongside the helium. The methane could be used for on-site power generation to support helium processing, reducing dependence on external power sources. Additionally, existing infrastructure—including a mothballed pipeline and nearby helium plants—could significantly streamline transportation and processing. Looking ahead, Mosman is preparing feasibility studies and engaging with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and regulatory authorities to conduct further 3D seismic work. These efforts aim to refine drilling plans across the Sagebrush area and adjacent Coyote Wash leases.

Diales Group PLC (LON:DIAL) CEO Mark Wheeler talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s global operations and how it supports clients across the engineering and construction sectors—particularly with dispute resolution, cost escalation claims, and complex project planning. Wheeler explained that Diales works with major contractors, joint ventures, government bodies, and clients across infrastructure, energy, and offshore projects. He said, “We support them with their contracts, planning, programming and claims and dispute resolution,” highlighting the company's niche expertise in large-scale, often novel engineering environments. In light of new US tariffs on steel and aluminum, Wheeler said Diales is seeing increased client inquiries and is well-positioned to provide strategic guidance. He noted the company’s experience with “cost escalation claims” and emphasised the value of early contractual advice to manage such risks. He also discussed supply chain challenges, especially where key components are manufactured globally. “One or two small components can really delay the delivery and completion of the construction of some quite significant pieces of equipment,” Wheeler noted. Finally, Wheeler addressed the ongoing share buyback program, which he described as popular with shareholders. He reiterated the company's belief that it is currently “the best value stock to be buying,” particularly given AIM market illiquidity.
