Lorna Blaisse, CEO , Helium One30 Jan 2024 20:11
Lorna has a very impressive C.V spanning 17 yrs.
Her Linkedin shows she STARTED as an Intern at SANTOS, Australia where it was TIGHT gas. Tight gas is NOT CONVENTIONAL GAS but has to be fracked etc.
Then, she went to TULLOW where the huge UGANDA basin find propelled a tiny explorer to millions of mkt cap. Again, not easy for FRONTIER BASIN. Frontier is a new basin that needs to be proved. Basins are not 1 big pool and just put a straw in and find oil and gas sort of thing. At Tullow, she was an EXPLORATION GEO.
She also has MSc in Petroleum GeoScience & Post Grad.
INTERVIEW WITH LORNA BLAISSE ON HER APPOINTMENT WITH HELIUM ONE
I watched it and she said that she is pleased to join HE! for the "TIER 1 POTENTIAL" OF RUKWA etc -significant project. So, one can see that Lorna is not interested in working on normal conventional projects but rather those who BREAK new frontiers like Tullow -for this reason, she was ideal for HE1 [same analogy of new hybrid helium, both gas and saturated helium waters].
At this interview with PROACTIVE , Lorna said "WE KNOW THE HELIUM IS THERE, WE NEED TO PROVE IT."
WHY? Helium One Geo's found the helium in Rakwa a long time ago and so much so, it is very well known and Oxford, Durham Uni 's studies into Rukwa are based on Helium One's Australian Geo's work.
Now, enter Noble and the Chairman Shaun was the one who worked ON GROUND BREAKING COAL SEAM GAS for Australia which was SOLD TO SHELL FOR BILLIONS. Again, it is frontier stuff.
So, Noble is 1 step ahead of HE! in that they have had their results wire logged etc and tested THE HELIUM WATER and done de-pressurising tests TO EXTRACT helium. On board of Noble , the 3rd largest hold is CEO of Albermarle, mkt cap into 3 digit billions and former director of Lind, helium producers. Uni of Queensland commissioned by Noble also works for the coal industry in Australia.
HE1 - From the Noble presentation, it is STATED THAT THE LOWER BASEMENT BASIN has even more helium but they did not DRILL to basement at 700m but HE 1 DID GO TO BASEMENT BASIN AT 900M @Karoo.
JUST THINK, HOW EXCITING TO FIND OUT WHAT HE1 FOUND IN THE BASEMENT BASIN WHERE HELIUM SHOWS INCREASED ALL THE WAY TO THE BASIN PER RNS.
---HYDROGEN ---that is a PLUS.
