Vortex Energy mobilises field crews at Robinsons River

This marks the start of the company’s flagship geophysical survey, designed to image the subsurface salt dome and advance the understanding of its potential for large scale hydrogen storage.

Sensor deployment is being conducted in collaboration with the University of Alberta, CAUR Technologies, and Storm Exploration. Mobilisation follows a formal approval from the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Industry, Energy, and Technology, as announced on 24 July 2025.

Upon arrival, crews will deploy a distributed network of sensors across the company’s claims. These sensors are designed to passively record natural seismic vibrations, enabling the construction of high-resolution subsurface velocity models, to assist in defining the geometry of the targeted salt bodies.

“With mobilisation now underway, we are entering the most exciting phase of our present technical programme,” said Paul Sparkes, CEO of Vortex Energy. “The results are anticipated to directly support drill planning as we advance the Robinsons River project.”

The ANT survey represents a major step forward in the company’s development strategy, building upon prior research and planning. Preliminary data will be processed following the survey, with 3D imaging and interpretations expected later in autumn 2025.
