A helium gas show was discovered during the Helium One drilling operation, the Rukwa Project, in Tanzania.
A gas show is when, during operations, there is a recorded increase in gases above a baseline amount, indicative of the potential of the formation under investigation.
Elevated helium levels were encountered as connection gas as Helium One continued exploration drilling at Tai-1 well. The gas shows were identified at primary targets from 552 metres to 561 metres as measured by the on-line gas chromatograph.
The transient peaks suggested that helium saturated brine was present through the system, with potential for free gas to form beneath sealing units.
