Hydrogen purity hits new highs in South Australia testing

Global Hydrogen Review,


Gold Hydrogen has announced impressive results from a second round of well testing at its natural hydrogen well in South Australia. The numbers mean the company will be back on site on the Yorke Peninsula in the coming weeks to continue work on a proof-of-concept natural hydrogen and helium commercial production.
The results included:
  • Hydrogen was confirmed in all seven zones tested, from 250m - 1km.
  • A 180m thick helium pay zone was identified.
  • Hydrogen was confirmed at up to 95.8% purity, the company's highest reading yet (at 53 1m and on an air-corrected basis)
  • Helium was again confirmed at the highest level, 17.5% air corrected. Helium spikes were significant and more testing for higher purities will continue.
  • The company was able to extract both gases to surface.
  • High permeability levels were recorded in the Kulpara dolomites. This is significant as it indicates the formations are permeable and producing fluids and associated gas.

The purity levels are believed to be amongst the highest anywhere in the world for helium and natural hydrogen. Gold Hydrogen has large prospective resources for both gases, and the testing so far is only over a portion of the Ramsay Project permit.
