Read something earlier about some of the largest gas fields being trapped under shale
For He specific I dont know but in oil and gas, we do produce from friable sands - the mighty Draugen field in Norway is a great example. its literally like a bag of sands, very poorly consolidated.
"So is anything trapped above the lakes red sandstone base non-commercial due to weak structure of reservoir rocks (can't be flowed)? Or, can a pruduction well design reap upper-Helium as a bonus? Thank you in advance"
I think if they wanted to exploit that area they could install casing to stabilizie the well and then perforate the casing in the desired zone
Given me a great idea. Gin and Helium tonic water! Oo err.
Has to be something holding it down. He is milions of years old. My understanding anyway.

My reasoning..
I think if it was at the top you would sample/extract helium first, then eventually nitrogen from/at the crest
In the article the diagram shows one gas cap, not helium above nitrogen.
The its used "-" to combine the components of the gas phase, and only mention one gas phase
Our studies indicate that once helium and nitrogen are released from the source rock, they interact with groundwater in overlying strata (see figure above). Once enough helium and nitrogen are dissolved in the groundwater, they are able to form a separate "nitrogen- and-helium-rich" gas phase as the groundwater ascends to the surface and becomes depressurized. We think this is the mechanism for the near-pure nitrogen-helium gas fields found in North America.

@Phantom25, I might be wrong but I believe it is mixed with the nitrogen..

Maybe I am missing something..

Thats what the H&P report suggests but I don't have a clue how they come to that figure but have not attempted to looked into it.
Must be a multiplier in their equation....
Dai, so what you're saying is a difference of just 0.7% added another 370 BCF??? It's bubbling to surface at 10.6%!
In the trap, is the helium mixed in with the nitrogen or is it floating above it, like cream on milk?
Once the market gets the news the seal is in place and the recoverable amount in bcf this will massively rerated.. possibly suspended for a few hours then open up £1+ ... that could be a matter of weeks away..... DM's x5 mention wasn't a throw away comment it was a heads up to us!
Full and with the higher concentration
I thought 8-10% would double the bcf, but after reading page 15 H&P Initiation note
"In terms of the gas in place, it is assumed between 61% (P90 case) and 72% (P10) will be recoverable, which is reasonable compared to gas discoveries globally which have high recovery rates.
In aggregate across all the prospects, the helium content is assumed to be 3% in the P90 case, 4.2% in the P50 case and 4.9% in the P10 case.."
"The prospects have a total unrisked base case recoverable helium potential of 138bcf or 14bcf on a risked basis (average 10% geological chance of success). The high or P10 case is almost four times higher at >500bcf gross unrisked"
Warp 3 for starters
Not sure how fast that would be.
Back to reality.
Brokers estimates for starters.
Steve58,
Try it again, my lad! ;0)
that makes no sense at all
If helium is escaping because the reservoir is full then we could have nearer the higher figure of 500 bcf. Not sure if I've mixed up my bcf with mcf. I'm sure I'll get corrected.
If so sp will achieve light speed.
