Unveiling Natural Hydrogen Potential in Western Australia's Edmund-Collier Basin
Key Ideas
- Constellation Resources uncovers organic-rich formations and fault structures supporting natural hydrogen generation potential in the Edmund-Collier Basin.
- Seismic reprocessing enhances understanding of basin-wide structures and key geological targets critical for hydrogen exploration.
- Organic carbon sampling validates the hydrogen source potential within the basin, indicating favorable conditions for hydrogen release.
- High porosity indicators in select formations hint at gas storage capabilities, paving the way for further exploration and validation activities.
Constellation Resources Ltd has made significant progress in exploring natural hydrogen potential in the Edmund-Collier Basin, Western Australia. Through seismic reprocessing, the company confirmed the presence of organic-rich formations like the Blue Billy and Discovery Formations, supporting the development of a natural hydrogen system. Fault structures identified in the reprocessed data provide pathways for gas movement, enhancing exploration opportunities. Organic carbon sampling revealed high Total Organic Carbon (TOC) readings, indicating the basin's capacity for hydrogen production. Preliminary porosity analysis showed promising gas accumulation potential in formations like the Kiangi Creek and Discovery Formations. The company is now embarking on a soil gas survey to detect hydrogen microseepage and planning deep drilling initiatives to validate hydrogen concentrations. Concurrently, regulatory steps are being taken to move exploration activities forward, showcasing a positive outlook for natural hydrogen development in the region.
