Building on Worsley Exploration Model Success
CALGARY, AB, July 11, 2023 – First Helium Inc. (“First Helium” or the “Company”) (TSXV:HELI) (OTCQX:FHELF) (FRA:2MC), a helium exploration and development company with properties in Northern and Southern Alberta, is pleased to provide an update on its recently completed 5,200 acre proprietary 3D seismic program over a portion of its most recently acquired lands at Worsley. Initial evaluation of the data by First Helium’s exploration team indicates the presence of a number of highly prospective drill targets on trend with, and within, the same Leduc reef complex as the successful 15-25, 1-30 and 4-29 wells. These new drilling opportunities add to the Company’s extensive existing inventory of locations at Worsley. The Company is currently evaluating these targets for priority inclusion in upcoming drilling programs.
“We are very pleased to have completed our 3D seismic program at Worsley on time and within budget” said Ed Bereznicki, President & Chief Executive Officer of First Helium. “Building on the exploration model established with the acquired 3D seismic programs and through the successful drilling of the 15-25, 1-30, and 4-29 wells, we are extremely excited to further test the model on these targets on our new exploration lands,” added Mr. Bereznicki. “Located on contiguous lands east of our successful wells, these newly identified drilling targets are anticipated to yield helium rich gas which would give us the opportunity to deliver additional potential volumes to capitalize on our helium gas offtake agreement,” concluded Mr. Bereznicki.
The new seismic program overlaps the Company’s existing 3D data over its three successful wells at Worsley and extends to the east where deeper horizons remain relatively unexplored. Increasing helium content, limited historic deep well penetrations and access to gas gathering infrastructure for efficient tie-in make this an extremely attractive area for future helium exploration. First Helium’s exploration team is targeting natural gas pools containing helium, similar to those depleted pools on the westerly part of the play. In that area, a single gas pool, the Leduc D3-D Pool, located approximately 25 km to the west of First Helium’s 15-25 well, produced 46 Bcf of natural gas with approximately 1.0% helium content spanning a period of over 12 years.
Led by a core Senior Executive Team with diverse and extensive backgrounds in Oil & Gas Exploration and Operations, Mining, Finance, and Capital Markets, First Helium seeks to be one of the leading independent providers of helium gas in North America.
Building on its successful 15-25 helium discovery well at the Worsley project, the Company has identified numerous follow-up drill locations and acquired an expansive infrastructure system to facilitate future exploration and development of helium across its Worsley land base. Cash flow from its successful oil wells at Worsley will help support First Helium’s ongoing helium exploration and development growth strategy.
First Helium holds over 60,000 acres along the highly prospective Worsley Trend in Northern Alberta, and 276,000 acres in the Southern Alberta Helium Fairway, near existing helium production. In addition to continuing its ongoing exploration and development drilling at Worsley, the Company has identified a number of high impact helium exploration targets on the prospective Southern Alberta Helium Fairway lands to set up a second core exploration growth area for the Company.
