Helium One Global Ltd said that wintry weather had delayed rig mobilisation until February at the Galactica helium project in Las Animas County, Colorado, USA.
FIRST GAS
Joint venture partner Blue Star Helium is laying gravel on the roads to the Jackson-31 and Jackson-4 wells for access during the cold, snow and thaw.
Mobilisation is expected for the week beginning 10 February for the first well Jackson-31 SENW 3054, followed by Jackson-4 L4 3154.
The drilling programme includes three additional approved wells, with the final drilling sequence confirmed after completion of Jackson-4.
Helium One added that work is continued on permitting and engineering for the Pinon Canyon processing plant. First gas production is anticipated during H1 2025.
The project is part of the wider Galactica-Pegasus development in which the partners each hold a 50% interest.
