We are already in with Santos via the new deals, the allocations we are getting off Central , are part of JV with Santos (operator) already. So as they have both natural gas/hybrid and Helium facilities at Darwin, it only makes sense, for when drilled Mt Kitty, Dukas , etc to go to Darwin (plans to treble production strings)
The question is more, should our Mt Winter drill come around before the Mt Kitty plan 2027, will Santos move on taking a percentage plus the production to Darwin, would make sense, given their plans 3x production and no helium yet available for the currently only operational but idle Helium plant in OZ,
the only one in the North, another new plant to be built in the South, Queensland , near another known Helium discovery.
OZ Government and Queensland state, already offering incentives and grants, for new Hydrogen and Helium projects, so fully expect the Gov and Northern Territory state, to get involved in similar actions.
Hussar further across in the Officer basin, so do not expect Santos to jump in on Hussar and we already have arrangements via Harlequin , Halo , Penspen.
Linde/BOC might come sniffing around, on confirmation of high Helium levels post drilling H1 into H2 re-entry. Vice leaving their facilities at Darwin idle for another year or two, waiting for Santos Amadeus production, with the Helium going Linde's way. Linde sell worldwide, so could be interested in purchases from our funding off-takers. π€
