Jesse 1A Discovery

Helium Discovery at Jesse 1A well

  • Sproule Independent Assessment

    • Jesse fault block graduates from a “Prospective” to a “Contingent” Resource under the SPE standard and establishes “discovered” status.

    • 200’ gross gas column and 101’ net pay based on petrophysical analyses.

    • 0.96% Helium Analyses

      • 1.7X higher concentration than expected

Next phase is shooting an 18 square mile 3D over the Wyatt and Kit fault blocks

Seeking risk capital from qualified investors.

Unrisked Reserve Potential:

  • 5.8 BCF Helium

  • 655 BCF CO2

  • 750,000 BO

  • 18 BCF Natural Gas

Fantastic Gas Reservoir Quality at Jesse 1A Well

Electrical borehole image log from Jesse 1A Maiden Well riddled with vuggy porosity. A - upper zone. B - middle zone. C- lower zone. Vugs are dark oval-shaped holes, the storage “containers” for gas. Vertical scale on each image is 10 ft.

Total P50 Helium:

20.8 Billion Cubic Feet (BCF) !

Total P10 prospective helium could be up to 57.6 BCF! 10.9 BCF helium held on currently gross-leased acreage (7.4 BCF net-leased).

Estimates are produced independently by Sproule.

Red Prospect

Red has two great geologic-analogs: Doe Canyon helium + CO₂ production and McElmo dome CO₂ production. Expected helium concentrations at Red are 0.5% to 2% helium (Jesse 1A well confirms ~0.9% concentration). FCH and partners have currently leased nearly 30,000 net-acres over known geologic-structures delineated using robust seismic reprocessing and petrophysical analyses. Net revenue interest on all leases at 80% or higher.

Trap, Seal, Helium Source

Trap and seal have been intact for over 315 million years of helium accumulation. Igneous and metamorphic source rocks underlie the area.

Jesse 1A well confirmed helium-effective seals and reservoir-quality vugular porosity.

Red Midstream Infrastructure

Existing pipelines to Lisbon Plant, capable of processing helium to 99.999 % purity, “five nines”. Onsite processing and trucking are also an option. A gas gathering and sales agreement has been executed with Paradox Resources, the owner of the Lisbon Helium Plant.
