On May 6, 2025, Hyterra, a natural hydrogen and helium explorer, revealed significant findings from its Sue Duroche 3 well in Kansas, USA, with hydrogen concentrations reaching up to 96.1% in mud gas samples. H2Au, a geoscience-led clean energy developer neighboring Hyterra, applauded the results as a confidence boost for the broader natural hydrogen sector. Owain Jackson, H2Au's CEO, expressed excitement for further validation through downhole sampling and gas monitoring. He emphasized the positive ripple effect of Hyterra's success on stakeholders like investors, regulators, contractors, and the supply chain, particularly for adjacent license holders like H2Au. The industry recognizes the importance of collaboration, viewing Hyterra's achievement as a positive signal for the entire field. This development signifies a step forward in de-risking similar geological plays in Kansas and underlines the significance of shared success in a nascent industry.
