The Tech article was just to add to the post about the pad and conductor, and not to show the exact methods that He1 are going to use, as I dont believe its been revealed yet..
But I imagine, if casing is done during exploration drilling, the bore hole walls could be cased the entire depths of the targets, so sealing them. Then the casing can be perforated about the targets to allow the gas to be extracted as/when required.
But I dont really know , there seems to be plenty of drilling options, so it would be good for some input from a knowledgeable poster...

interesting read, not quite related, cement and gas,

Last interview they said the price into China was $375, there is a table in the H&P doc so you can figure out the affect on the share price, its significant.

Its all new to me,

Some Brain Storming..
The gas in the ground is mainly Nitrogen, sure I read its the carrier gas, so I assume they could be bound, so the seals needs to stop Nitrogen more than helium. So maybe not the same issue as stopping liquid helium, warming, and expanding in a tanker and pushing the gaseous helium out to atmosphere.

found this
"Helium doesn't mix easily with nitrogen because of the great difference in their densities. But once mixed, the gas molecules are close together and they move around quite a bit with kinetic energy so they stay mixed and don't separate out into layers."

And I guess part of the leaky issue is related to the gas warming, expansion and pressure changes, so once the well head is diverting the gas to the plant it is going to take the route of least resistance which is along the pipe and not so much through it walls. And its mainly nitrogen not pure helium..
Just guessing

They can seal hard drives which are probably still compact in size, with a comparatively thin casings so I guess they can seal a big junky well head

1. Drilling with drill pipes

Drill pipes are durable steel pipes that conduct the force to the drill bit. In many cases the drill pipe turns the drill bit, which cuts into the rock until it reaches the deposits. The last drill pipes before the drill bit are often nonmagnetic drill collars, particularly in horizontal drilling. Drilling with drill pipe is the first phase of every wellbore. Drilling mud meanwhile cools the drill bit and carries the rock cuttings, i.e. the cut rock, back to the surface.
2. Lining with casing

The outer tubes are called casing. Casing lines the wellbore and thus protects the layers of soil and above all the groundwater from being contaminated by the drilling mud and/or frac fluids. It also stabilizes the wellbore, so casing must be able to withstand especially high loads. The drilling and casing alternate – the drill string is taken out at specific intervals and the wellbore is lined with casing and cemented. Then drilling continues.
3. Production with tubing

Tubing transports the oil and gas from deep in the well to the surface – the third phase of the wellbore. Oil and gas occasionally rise to the surface on their own; usually, pumps are needed to bring the fluids to the surface.

Tubing naturally has a smaller diameter than casing, except for the 4 1/2-inch diameter. An outer diameter of 114.3 mm (4 1/2 inches) is considered a threshold and can be either casing or tubing. Anything smaller is called tubing, anything larger is casing.

From the surface to the bottom of the well, the casing telescopes down in size – there are various types of casing depending on their purpose and diameter. The “kickoff point” is where the wellbore gradually transitions from vertical to horizontal. Thanks to horizontal drilling, deposits can be reached in a more targeted way. At the conclusion, the drill string is removed and the production casing is inserted into the wellbore and cemented into place. The well is then fractured and the tubing is installed inside the production casing.

@snudge1234
Golden WW tickets :) and Tai Must Drill :) Seismic :) rattling through my mind at the moment, and fault lines :(
And Yeah but No but Yeah bu........

Same bought extra, then a little extra all to top slice,.. but "must drill "and WW tickets, lets hope for a good rise before deciding on the slice

Willy Wonka tickets, Mmmmm..

@QuantumStar, derisk is probably the best idea, just need to predict the optimum price before the big news.
Monday is coming, and its often a big day, and could be the start of a steady increase being the last week of May, but who knows..

@snudge,
what was your plan, buy some and hold, buy extra and de-risk, take profit before the drill answers the big question?

@noob
At worst I think there could be a long wait for plan C.
But it all depends on how big a gamble one makes, and how important that money is?
trading profit, money idle in an account, the house deposit, money to be pay off your house next year, ..
Mines from savings so idle money, I could say its retirement money... but once its gone its gone,
Temptation is still there though...
Luckily this is a great BB, where we can ask lots of questions, and share.
If it goes belly up those who thought they missed out will be piling in for that salt sealed field

Thanks, this will hopefully be light, interesting reading, just enough to understand any updates.
Nothing to heavy like cracking rocks, thought that was a wind up until I seen the photos, I would not last over there.

We are also trading around Canaccords price ,

Its a hard one, so much potential, so much risk, so much temptation..
I have enough shares to de-risk and still have a good holding , and if everything goes to plan, will do very well, at worst little lost.
If I dont de-risk the out come could be exceptional or painful.

I have missed quite a few posts even when I have been quite active on the BB.
I would have reposted as I know your working and your subject area is the hot topic at the moment, :)

Thanks again, starting to understand a little more on first read, but still can not interpret the seismic sections first hand.. Will have another look through over the weekend, but its all sounding promising. But I expect I will find something else that puzzles me :)

DM mentioned there could be gas throughout..
" uh there could be gas all the way throughout this structure because we've got you know nice repeating reservoir seal structures especially throughout the karoo"

Since they are able to map the fault lines I would guess they could survey the ground above and look for seeps with a fair degree of accuracy?
Questioning this because there has been no mention of surface seeps at Tai, at least I have not noticed, and I take this as a good indication.

Rains stopped so, going to chance a walk..
and ponder over some interesting comments :)

Found something to read later
I think the photo is showing a gravel pad, and conductor casing without a well head

@inthevoid,
You had me checking what I wrote about the asset
I guess I can improve on that..
The gas sample could prove to be 8-10%, not 4 ish,

"If we get anything above 4.2 we can start imagining our global resource is going to increase significantly because discovery in one well helps to de-risk the entire basin."
"up to between eight and ten percent in the ground,so as soon as we take our first sampler out of the ground we could double the size of our global resource"
