CrustyPete,
The Noble ceo talks about helium coming out of the water as the pressure decreases. That’s dry gas waiting to be harvested.
From HE1’s rns last week “Two subsequent well tests were carried out across the fault zone and yielded similar results from the downhole samples which were evaluated in the onsite field PVT laboratory. The Company has identified that the frequency of helium increases with depth and is preferentially carried in hot fluids out of the Basement and along fault conduits. As the helium rises through the well bore, the pressure decreases, and it is thought that the helium then comes out of solution and increases in concentration.
This was further collaborated with mudlogging data that showed elevated helium whilst drilling the 8½" hole section through the Lake Beds Formation and the shallow fault zone. The well produced a continuous measurement of helium gas across the micro-GC and this consistent helium gas measurement was repeated during hole opening operations in preparation for running casing.”
