MAX Power Identifies Natural Hydrogen Potential at Bracken Well, Expanding Saskatchewan Basin Prospects
Event summary
- Independent review by GLJ Ltd. confirms multiple prospective Natural Hydrogen and helium zones at MAX Power’s Bracken well, located 325 km from the Lawson Discovery.
- Bracken drilling data suggests geological conditions similar to those at Lawson, supporting a basin-scale Natural Hydrogen system in Saskatchewan.
- Comprehensive testing programs at both Bracken and Lawson will commence in July 2026 to evaluate multiple stacked targets.
- The Grasslands Project, encompassing 750 sq. km, had never been drilled for Natural Hydrogen or helium until MAX Power’s recent well.
The big picture
MAX Power’s discovery at Bracken reinforces the potential for a basin-scale Natural Hydrogen system in Saskatchewan, positioning the region as a global leader in clean energy. The dual advancement strategy at Bracken and Lawson aims to define the scale and commercial viability of these resources, which could redefine the province’s role in both hydrogen and helium production.
