Mobilisation and Initial Operations

Precision Drilling Rig 704 has commenced mobilisation and is expected to complete rig-up operations shortly. Once completed, the rig will focus on addressing the problematic Mowry shale through a process known as ‘casing over.’ This critical step is necessary to secure the well and allow HeLIX to explore the deeper formations where helium and hydrogen have previously been detected.

Focus on Testing Helium and Hydrogen Shows

The re-entry programme will concentrate on conducting wireline and flow tests of the helium and hydrogen 'shows' identified in earlier evaluations. These formations include the Amsden, Charles, and Flathead formations, which have exhibited potential for both helium and hydrogen extraction. The company’s focus on testing these formations highlights its strategic commitment to exploring this vital resource, particularly at a time when helium is becoming increasingly valuable due to its industrial applications.

Potential for Well Deepening

HeLIX Exploration has also indicated that it may deepen the Clink-1 well beyond its current depth, depending on the results of the initial testing. This decision will be based on the data gathered during the wireline and flow testing phases, which will inform the company’s next steps in developing the Ingomar Dome helium project.
