A helium system extending from Saskatchewan to Wyoming. The ‘Montana Helium Fairway’ is named after several helium discoveries made in the Cambrian
Flathead Formation on the western edge of
the Williston Basin
Hosts helium production from North American Helium and Weil Group
Helium is generated in ancient crust and migrates along major structures
Nitrogen gas is an important exploration indicator and all helium discoveries on the Flathead Fairway are associated with nitroge
The Ingomar Dome has all the characteristics of a potentially massive Flathead-style helium discovery, including:
Identified gas: Historic drilling and/or testing has identified gas in all target reservoir horizons. Assayed at ~81% Nitrogen, the gas was never tested for helium.
Thick sediment: Reservoir sandstones with proven sealing units in multiple horizons.
Large trap: Large closure of 16,512 acres mapped at surface, in seismic and in drilling.
Adjacent to major structure: Located on the upthrown side of the deep-seated Sumatra Thrust, which acts as a conduit for helium migration.
Helium Source: Radiometric studies have identified high U and Th anomalies in basement, signifying rich helium source rock and high geothermal gradient necessary to release helium..
