Vortex engages CAUR Technologies and Storm Exploration to assess hydrogen storage potential

The ANT survey is being conducted in collaboration with the University of Alberta through a research partnership supported by a Mitacs grant. As part of this academic collaboration, the University of Alberta and Vortex has engaged CAUR Technologies Inc. to provide the specialised survey design, instrumentation, and data processing. Storm Exploration LLC will be supporting the deployment and retrieval of equipment, offering logistical and project management assistance in the field.

This work follows Vortex’s announcement on 12 June 2025 outlining plans to carry out the ANT survey to image the internal structure and geometry of the Robinsons River salt dome. ANT is a low-impact geophysical technique that uses naturally occurring seismic noise to create a high-resolution image of subsurface features, aiding in the evaluation of the project’s potential for large scale hydrogen storage.

“Our collaboration with the University of Alberta will play a central role in advancing this innovative survey, and we are pleased to be working with CAUR Technologies and Storm Exploration,” said Paul Sparkes, CEO of Vortex Energy. “This work shows our commitment to using advanced science and local knowledge to move the Robinsons River Project forward.”

The data from the ANT survey will be integrated with existing gravity, magnetic, and legacy seismic datasets to support the development of a unified subsurface model and inform future drilling decisions.
