It’s very unlikely natural gas/methane as analogous wells have inert gas. So it’s probably Nitrogen which is a known ‘carrier’ of Helium. But obviously needs to be proven…
“ Ingomar Dome - Clink #1
Clink #1 well location is situated at the crest of the Ingomar Dome approximately 200m to the west of the historic Hilliston #1 well. The Hilliston #1 well tested a 195ft column of non-flammable gas from the Amsden Formation at high flow rate and minimal pressure loss over 30 days. The gas was tested at ~80% Nitrogen and was not assayed for helium, although a high helium-in-soil gas anomaly measured at the wellhead suggests that helium gas is present. Clink #1 has been designed to drill beyond the Amsden formation to test stacked reservoir targets in the Flathead and Charles Formations.
The primary target is the Flathead formation which is the main regional reservoir hosting helium production on the Montana helium fairway. Gas is known to occur in the Flathead formation having been identified in the Treasure #18-1, located over 6 miles down-dip from the Clink #1 well location, which logged 10-26ft of gas in clean sandstone but did not conduct a flow test over the interval.
The secondary target is the Charles formation, a thick sequence of interbedded limestone, dolomite, anhydrite and shale. The Charles formation has previously had gas identified in both the Froze #24-8 and Treasure #18-1 wells. The Froze #24-8 well, located down dip at the southern end of the Ingomar Dome, identified a total gas column of 175ft. The Treasure #18-1 well, located over six miles down dip to the west of the Ingomar Dome, identified a total gas column of 145ft. Both wells tested high-nitrogen gas (80.4%) similar in composition to gas tested from the Amsden formation but were not assayed for helium.”
It actually a very ramp tweet imo as we have been told the Amsden data. But it seems to be what social media wants nowadays. I note MDH also had a video of their CEO stood next to a well holding a guage shouting look at this!
Having a view on outlook is fine especially with the product. But as for the well….just give me hard data!
Guess I am getting old!
Usual caveats
