RE: HE1 - Probable resource of 54 Billion Cubic Feet (BCf)27 Jun 2024 08:15
Sections of the Tanzanian East African Rift contain most, if not all, of the prerequisites for an economic helium province. Noble gas data from gas seeps in the west and east branches of the Tanzanian section of the East African Rift System contain 4He concentrations of up to 10.5%. This, combined with the potential 4He generated by the Tanzanian Craton and surrounding mobile belts of c. 7.0βΓβ105βBCF (2βΓβ1013β
m34He (STP)), implies that even with inefficient release, migration and trapping, these regions could provide high-helium concentration reservoirs. In the region of the Rukwa Basin independent prospective resource estimates undertaken on behalf of the operator and their financial backers suggest that there is a P50 (best estimate) of 138β
BCF 4He (2.78βΓβ109β
m34He (STP)) potentially trapped within existing trapping structures (Helium One Global 2020), which, if recoverable, would alone supply the current world consumption for 14β
years.
