Is the solution mentioned water? Through the EWT, the Company has now successfully flowed the well across the faulted Karoo Group interval for a period of five days, and the maximum helium gas measured from solution yielded a compositional mix of 7.6% helium (uncorrected for air contamination), 1.7% argon, 0.7% oxygen and 90% nitrogen

No, the "solution" mentioned in this context is not water. Instead, it refers to a gaseous solution or mixture of gases present within the geological formation, specifically within the faulted Karoo Group interval.
Explanation:
Gaseous Solution: In this context, "solution" refers to the mixture of gases that are naturally present together in the underground formation. When gases like helium, argon, oxygen, and nitrogen are found together in a formation, they are often described as being in a "solution," meaning they are mixed or dissolved together in the gas phase, not in water.
Compositional Mix: The passage talks about the composition of the gas mixture that was measured during the Extended Well Test (EWT). The gases measured, including helium, argon, oxygen, and nitrogen, are all part of the gaseous mixture that flowed out of the well during the test.
Summary:
The "solution" in this context is the natural mixture of gases found in the Karoo Group interval, not a liquid like water. The helium and other gases were measured as part of this gaseous mixture during the well testing process.
