While preparing the hole for wireline logging, the rig encountered caving with the Mowry shale from ~2,100 feet ONWARDS(?)
The Mowry formation will require an intermediate 7" casing to be rotated through the shale section, allowing the Company to re-enter and test the lower parts of the well where a helium system has been identified...
its not specifically saying just the Mowry section needs casing, as it says "through" which includes beyond ?
===============
3,885ft (1,185m)
Significant elevated helium was identified while drilling in the Amsden formation at a depth of 3,885ft (1,185m) on 17 August 2024 at 03:15 MST, reaching peak readings at 50x over background level.
The Amsden formation has previously been drilled and tested for gas in the Hilliston #1 well, roughly 200 metres east of current operations at the Clink #1 well. The Hilliston #1 well tested a 195ft column of non-flammable gas from the Amsden Formation at high flow rate and minimal pressure loss over 30 days. The gas was tested at approximately 80% Nitrogen and was not assayed for helium.
============
4,860ft (1,480m)- 5,150ft (1,570m)
The Clink #1 well is currently in the Charles Formation at a depth of 5,150ft (1,570m) with drilling continuing. Significant elevated helium was identified in multiple gas-shows from 4,860ft (1,480m) reaching peak values at 130x over background level.
===================
The Charles formation has previously been drilled and tested for gas in the Froze To Death and Treasure #18-1 wells, both of which are down-dip of the current Clink #1 well. These wells tested 175ft and 145ft columns respectively of non-flammable gas which was tested at approximately 80% nitrogen and was not assayed for helium.
=============
Elevated helium readings(no value given ?) were encountered throughout the Cambrian strata from 6,815ft (2,075m) to TD,
primary target in the Flathead formation at approximately 7,410ft (2,260m) and total depth at approximately 8,000ft (2,440m).
Completion of drilling at Clink #1 to Target Depth ("TD") of 8,030ft (~2,450m), delivered
