  • The successful completion of Stage 1 testing marks a significant milestone for the company and the industry, showcasing world-leading results.
  • Stage 2 testing is planned to commence in early Q3 2024, aiming to determine flow rates for potential commercial production of natural hydrogen and helium.
  • The results will contribute to future well designs and pilot plant development, reinforcing the company's commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Gold Hydrogen Ltd has achieved remarkable success in the completion of Stage 1 well testing at its Ramsay Project located on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. The company reported exceptional purity levels, with 95.8% natural hydrogen and 17.5% helium recorded in wells Ramsay 1 and Ramsay 2. This accomplishment marks the first dedicated natural hydrogen and helium well-test operation in Australia and one of the few globally. The testing involved detailed assessment of formation inflow, with nitrogen injection aiding in fluid clearance and confirmation of natural hydrogen recovery at the surface. The significant presence of helium and high purity levels validate the project's potential. Stage 2 testing, set to begin in early Q3 2024, will focus on determining flow rates and may lead to the establishment of commercial production of natural hydrogen and helium. Gold Hydrogen Ltd's Managing Director, Neil McDonald, emphasized the importance of these results, praising the achieved purity levels as among the highest globally. The success of Stage 2 testing is expected to shape future well designs and contribute to the development of a pilot plant, underscoring the company's dedication to innovation and sustainable energy solutions.
