Terrex Seismic Survey to Unveil Natural Hydrogen Potential on Yorke Peninsula
Key Ideas
  • Gold Hydrogen Ltd has contracted Terrex for a 2D seismic survey on the Yorke Peninsula to explore natural hydrogen and helium potential.
  • The survey aims to delineate a vast hydrogen and helium system, utilizing modern data to understand geological complexities.
  • The company plans a second exploration phase to test gas reservoir flow rates and potential accumulation, with hopes of detecting free hydrogen.
  • The project is supported by Total Seismic for data interpretation, project management, and modeling.
Gold Hydrogen Ltd, an Australian company, has partnered with Terrex to conduct a 2D regional seismic survey over its Ramsay Project in South Australia's Yorke Peninsula, known for its natural hydrogen and helium prospects. The survey, covering 650 line kilometers within PEL 687 license, aims to unveil a regionally-sized hydrogen and helium system previously identified by Ramsay 1 and 2 wells. This initiative is crucial for understanding geological complexities and selecting drilling locations for future campaigns. With Total Seismic's support, the project seeks to build a comprehensive regional geological model. In addition to the seismic survey, Gold Hydrogen plans a second exploration phase to test gas reservoir flow rates and accumulation metrics at Ramsay. Detecting free hydrogen during testing would signal a promising future for the project. The company is optimistic about the quality of subsurface data acquisition and the safety of the exploration process. The article highlights the importance of the seismic data in conjunction with historical and recent well data for developing a robust geological model. The second phase of exploration, scheduled for early July, will involve lifting formation water and facilitating gas flow to surface, aiding in determining gas reservoir potential. Overall, the sentiment towards hydrogen exploration on the Yorke Peninsula is positive, with expectations of valuable insights and encouraging results.
