This programme marks a significant step in evaluating the potential for natural hydrogen resources in the region, utilising advanced hyperspectral imaging and AI-driven data analysis to help identify high-priority targets for subsequent field exploration.
“We are excited to launch this exploration programme at Dove Creek, a project with significant potential for natural hydrogen discovery,” said Benjamin Asuncion, CEO of Primary Hydrogen. “The use of hyperspectral imaging will provide critical insights into the area, allowing us to efficiently target our future exploration efforts. This programme underscores our commitment to leveraging technology to position Primary Hydrogen as a leader in the emerging natural hydrogen sector.”
Dove Creek Project, Colorado
Located in southwestern Colorado near the Colorado-Utah border, the Dove Creek project lies within the Paradox Basin, proximal to the San Juan Basin to the south and the Uinta-Piceance Basin to the north. The project’s prospectivity is driven by the potential for natural hydrogen generation through radiolysis of uranium-rich basement rocks. Deep-seated fault systems in the region serve as migration pathways for hydrogen, which may accumulate in structural or stratigraphic traps. Geophysical data highlight strong gravity anomalies aligned with fault structures and magnetic anomalies tied to deep crustal features. The presence of helium wells in the area further supports active subsurface gas migration, enhancing the project’s hydrogen potential.
