Pulsar Helium Discovers Additional High-Pressure Gas Zones at Topaz Project
Event summary
- Pulsar Helium's Jetstream #6 appraisal well at the Topaz Project in Minnesota encountered three additional high-pressure gas zones, including two with bottom-hole pressures exceeding 1,000 psi.
- Drilling continues to a total depth of approximately 3,000 feet, with the rig set to mobilize to Jetstream #7 upon completion.
- The Topaz Project has a 100% success rate in intersecting pressurized gas across six appraisal wells drilled to date.
- The project aims to produce helium, helium-3, and carbon dioxide, with helium-3 having strategic applications in national security and advanced technologies.
The big picture
Pulsar Helium's discovery of additional high-pressure gas zones at the Topaz Project reinforces the project's potential as a core asset in the company's portfolio. The success of the appraisal program supports the geological model and positions Pulsar to build exposure to high-value industrial and specialty gas markets. The strategic applications of helium-3, particularly in national security and advanced energy technologies, add an additional layer of upside to the project.
