Depends what they have asked for. Quick analysis can take but a few days. More complex ones obviously take longer. It is not as if no testing has been done already.
If you go onto long-term exposure studies that are often required to assess chemical reactions and structural changes in the reservoir rock, then you can safely assume it is going to be worth the time and cost.
"An independent study by Dr. Michael Hofmann of AIM GeoAnalytics has confirmed that rock cuttings from the Rudyard wells contain the same minerals that naturally generate hydrogen deep within the Earth-including serpentine, olivine, and magnetite." 16th October
"These results confirm that Rudyard sits above a deep-Earth hydrogen engine powered by ultramafic rocks and mantle gases. The science is clear: this is the type of system that can generate clean hydrogen naturally, without carbon emissions or expensive reforming plants." 16th October
" Helix is in active discussions with several globally recognised Tier 1 partners regarding potential hydrogen-related collaboration." 22nd December
Ahem JV....it could be even at a relatively early stage if after initial findings the core results are good enough a Tier 1 might step in and take a stake.
It could be they will include an update on initial analysis and caveat it with more ongoing complex tests. If Tier 1 were interested after initial findings as long as initial results are as promising as expected then Tier 1 going to be a lot more interested. All imho dyor
ps let's not forget HE3!!
