Summary?21 Nov 2024 20:40
After all the smoke and light of the last 2 days, can I just confirm my understanding of the current situation?
1. Flathead: Measured 2.5% helium in a surface sample, and 55% hydrogen in a sample from drilling mud, but needs stimulation to get it to flow for proper measurements. Stimulation to happen after Rudyard announcement, so that will be probably early January? Meanwhile there are no guarantees, and there may be more exploration drilling required, especially for the hydrogen reservoir.
2. Charles: "promising" but no cigar. More work needed, seems like some formation damage.
3. Amsden: high pressure gas flows, but the helium content is unknown. Lab test results due in the next few days. Likely to be some helium, as 600ppm (0.06%) was discovered during the first drill. But actual commercial-%age helium is not guaranteed.
4. Rudyard: drill results due in probably 2 weeks. Sounds promising overall from the interview, but again no guarantees.
Thanks for any comments.
