Highlights
Completion of development drilling at Jackson-27 well demonstrated gas-saturated sands within the Lyons formation.
Reservoir evaluation pointed to excellent porosity and absence of water, supporting quality assessment.
Joint efforts with Blue Star Helium propel multiple wells across the Galactica-Pegasus initiative.
The helium sector underpins critical applications in medical imaging, aerospace systems and semiconductor fabrication. Helium One Global Ltd operates within this market, focusing on exploration and production of this scarce noble gas. Recent activity in Colorado highlights efforts to secure sustainable supplies through strategic drilling and partnership models.
Drilling Achievement at Jackson-Twenty-Seven
A recent campaign saw the Jackson-Twenty-Seven development well reach its planned target beneath the Lyons Sandstone Formation. Gas flows were recorded during drilling operations and at depth, confirming effective reservoir connectivity. The absence of formation water during penetration emphasized the prevalence of dry gas intervals. This drilling success marks a key milestone in the Galactica-Pegasus project, reflecting operational progress and technical proficiency.
Reservoir Assessment and Quality Indicators
Subsurface evaluation revealed a substantial gas-saturated section within the target formation. Petrophysical data indicated high levels of pore space conducive to gas storage. These findings aligned with earlier offset well comparisons, reinforcing expectations of a robust reservoir. Gas samples are undergoing compositional analysis to quantify helium concentration and gauge carbonate gas content, which will inform future development phases.
Next Steps in Development Planning
Post-drilling activities have shifted to wellhead completion and readiness for flow testing. Flow analysis will measure deliverability and pressure performance under simulated production conditions. Outcomes of these tests will guide decisions on connecting the well to nearby processing facilities. Meanwhile, drilling equipment is preparing to mobilize to the adjacent Jackson-Two site, ensuring continuous momentum in the project campaign.
Strategic Collaboration and Expansion
Helium One’s partnership with Blue Star Helium underpins a multi-well drilling sequence across Galactica and Pegasus prospects. This collaboration combines expertise and capital to advance resource appraisal and commercialisation. Concurrently, exploration programmes continue in East African licences, maintaining a diversified portfolio across multiple jurisdictions. Corporate focus remains on advancing projects toward production while upholding technical standards and environmental stewardship.
