Quantum Helium Leverages Sagebrush Oil Production to Support Helium Strategy

Quantum Helium (LSE:QHE) reported that its Sagebrush oil project produced 11,769 barrels during 2025, generating gross revenue of US$617,044 and approximately US$409,000 in net sales revenue. Production and sales levels remained consistent throughout the year, providing a stable revenue stream for the company.

Management said the project’s unhedged oil output forms a central part of its self-funding strategy. Supported by stronger global oil prices and improved subsurface understanding from a newly completed 3D seismic survey, the Sagebrush field is helping finance the company’s helium-focused activities. The cash flow from oil production is also expected to support preparations for an extended production test at the Sagebrush-1 well.

Operations at Sagebrush have continued in line with expectations into early 2026, with the company focusing on optimising current field performance while assessing additional drilling opportunities that could increase oil production in the future. By pairing near-term hydrocarbon revenue with its longer-term helium ambitions, Quantum Helium aims to strengthen financial discipline and lower funding risk for investors as it enters what it expects to be a busy operational phase.

Despite these developments, the company’s outlook remains constrained by weak financial fundamentals, including ongoing losses, fluctuating and declining revenue, and continued cash burn, even though the balance sheet carries no debt. Technical indicators offer some short-term support, with improving momentum and the share price trading above key moving averages, but valuation remains limited due to loss-making operations and the absence of dividend support.
