Sui’s Astounding DeFi Growth Continues into 2024 as TVL Breaks the $500M Barrier
Sui
After Sui’s TVL surged more than 1500% over the last five months of 2023, its TVL has more than doubled since the start of 2024 Sui, one of the fastest-growing Layer 1 blockchains, continued its impressive DeFi growth, surpassing $500M in Total Value Locked (TVL) and solidifying itself in the top 10 of DeFi ecosystems. Alongside this torrid ascent of TVL, on-chain activity has exploded as well. Weekly DeFi volume is up 63 percent over the previous period, standing at $745M and placing it in the top 5 most active ecosystems in the past week. Sui’s continued climb demonstrates how its underlying technology is vital in empowering developers to create products that solve real-world challenges and the drive behind top projects expanding into its ecosystem. Over the past couple of weeks, Sui has announced several partnerships and expansions with industry-leading builders. Most recently, Sui announced that Ondo Finance—the third-largest organization in the real-world asset DeFi sector—is bringing its treasury-backed tokens, tokenized securities, and real-world assets into its ecosystem, as the Sui ecosystem is set to get its first native stablecoin. Sui also recently announced that Banxa, a leading payments infrastructure provider for the crypto-compatible economy, will add the SUI token to its platform. Also recently announced, a partnership with Oracle Stork provides builders with faster pricing data, offering real-time pricing data across Sui’s ecosystem of developers, DEXs, and lending protocols building on Sui's blockchain. “The fact that Sui now stands amongst the top ecosystems in crypto is a testament to Sui’s technology being able to attract top-tier developers and leading projects,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. “The recent partnership and expansion announcements, along with the surging metrics, point to Sui having true staying power. Sui is paving the way for widespread adoption and offers endless possibilities for innovation.” Sui’s object-centric model, horizontal scalability, and Move Language position it to host the most scalable solutions that have emerged from the blockchain industry to date. Its rapidly rising TVL results from multiple Sui-based protocols and applications leveraging Sui's strengths. Sui also saw two ecosystem protocols break $100M TVL for the first time in the network’s history. Navi Protocol now stands at over $114M TVL (up 184% over the last 30 days), while Scallop Lend has surged to over $116M TVL (up 258% over the last 30 days). Cetus ($72M), Aftermath Finance ($58M), and FlowX Finance ($49M) round out the top five projects as measured by TVL. Contact Details Sui Foundation Sui Team media@sui.io

LNG Energy CEO Pablo Navarro Reveals Exciting Discoveries and Ambitious Plans for 2024
LNG Energy Group Corp
LNG Energy Chairman and CEO Pablo Navarro joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's latest developments and future prospects. The company marked a significant milestone in the fall of 2023 when it went public, following the acquisition of the Colombian exploration and production assets of Lewis Energy Group, the third-largest natural gas producer in Texas. This acquisition was successfully completed on August 15, 2023. In the interview, Navarro elaborated on the company's journey and its transformation following the go-public transaction. Drawing on the legacy of Lewis Energy Colombia, which had been operating in Colombia for 17 years, LNG Energy Group is poised to grow and develop its portfolio swiftly and responsibly. The company operates in five blocks in Colombia, with its primary producing field, Bullerengue, strategically located near easily accessible high-demand markets. One of the key highlights discussed was a recent discovery in the Bullerengue West 5 well, which yielded both natural gas and black oil. This discovery not only expands the existing field but also demonstrates the presence of oil independently, adding to the company's asset value. Looking ahead to 2024, LNG Energy has ambitious plans, including drilling three to four wells and conducting workovers to enhance productivity and increase cash flow. The company's goal is to achieve self-sustainability by using existing cash flows to fund operations and meet financial obligations. The interview underscores the promising outlook and busy year that lies ahead for LNG Energy Group, building on its strong foundation and growth potential.

Helium One Global achieves milestone as Itumbula West-1 well yields up to 4.7% helium concentrations
Helium One Global Ltd
Helium One Global Ltd chief executive Lorna Blaisse joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with news of a groundbreaking discovery at the Itumbula West-1 well in the Rukwa Rift Basin in Tanzania, where testing confirmed significant helium concentrations up to 4.7%, marking a major milestone for the company. This discovery led to a near doubling of the company's share price, underlining the market's strong response to what is potentially one of the largest sources of primary helium globally. Unlike many projects that produce helium as a byproduct of hydrocarbon extraction, Helium One's project is unique for its pure helium, nitrogen, and now hydrogen mix, without any methane or carbon dioxide, making it exceptionally promising for industrial and technological applications. The CEO highlighted the strategic adjustments made in drilling locations to target fault zones rich in helium, a move that has paid off by tapping into high-quality reserves. Additionally, the project revealed a surprising 2.2% concentration of hydrogen, further enhancing its value. This hydrogen discovery, significantly above background levels, fits the geological model and adds another layer of commercial potential, especially considering the global demand for hydrogen as a clean energy source.

Europa Oil & Gas says Inishkea West gas prospect presents lucrative development opportunity
Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) PLC
Europa Oil & Gas PLC chief executive William Holland joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after the company received a crucial license extension for its gas project offshore Ireland, showcasing confidence in the company's technical and financial preparedness. Holland said the positive development follows extensive seismic reprocessing efforts that enhanced imaging and reduced risks associated with the project, particularly around the Inishkea West prospect. The reprocessing, progressing from 10 to 30 Hertz, aims to fine-tune the prospect's imaging without materially altering its significant potential, highlighted by its proximity to existing infrastructure and its potential to provide 1.5 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas. The strategic importance of the Inishkea West prospect lies not only in its substantial gas reserves but also in its ability to significantly reduce Ireland's reliance on imported gas, thereby enhancing national energy security. Holland emphasized that domestic gas from this project would have far lower emissions compared to imported LNG, aligning with environmental goals. The company is poised to re-engage with potential partners to further develop this opportunity, emphasizing the project's alignment with European gas market demands, its quick path to cash flow due to nearby infrastructure, and its strong risk-reward profile.
