REV Exploration Launches 3D Seismic Survey at Montana Helium Project
Event summary
- REV Exploration has commenced a 26.75 km 3D seismic survey at its West Butte Helium Project in Montana, conducted by Tetra Tech.
- The survey will be followed by the first-ever drilling program targeting a new helium discovery in the region.
- West Butte is part of a larger geologically continuous helium system with multiple structural closures capable of hosting stacked accumulations.
- REV's geological team, responsible for the Lawson Natural Hydrogen Discovery in Saskatchewan, believes Montana is under-explored for helium and natural hydrogen potential.
The big picture
REV Exploration's seismic survey at West Butte is part of a broader trend of increased exploration activity in the helium and natural hydrogen sectors, particularly in under-explored regions like Montana. The company's strategic focus on district-scale opportunities aligns with the growing demand for helium in industrial applications and natural hydrogen as a potential clean energy source. REV's portfolio, which includes the Aden Dome project along the Alberta-Montana border, positions it as a key player in the region's emerging energy landscape.
