Imperial Helium Commences Field Operations at the Steveville
Helium Property
Cloudbreak Discovery PLC (LSE: CDL), a natural resource project
generator, is pleased to announce that Imperial Helium Corp.
("Imperial" or the "Company"), in which Cloudbreak owns 1.25 per
cent of the issued and outstanding equity, has started lease and
road construction at the Steveville Helium Property, in South
Eastern Alberta, Canada. Additionally, Imperial has received all
required permits and approvals to commence drilling operations as
soon as practicable.
The initial well, otherwise known as well number
102/03-01-020-12W4M, is anticipated to be drilled to a depth of
2,047 metres on the crest of the Steveville structure. The
objective of the first well is to confirm helium concentrations and
flow rates established during the historic blow-out that occurred
in 1940.
Kyler Hardy, CEO of Cloudbreak Discovery, commented: "Imperial
Helium has made great progress at Steveville, receiving all the
required permits and approvals, and is now in the exciting position
to begin drilling. We look forward to working closely with the
Imperial team as they complete their drilling and production
testing programme."
David Johnson, Director and CEO of Imperial Helium, commented :
"We are excited to be commencing field operations on the first well
in June as planned. With the achievement of this first milestone,
the Company is well positioned to complete production testing and
an independent resource assessment of the Steveville asset during
the fourth quarter of 2021".
About the Steveville Helium Property
Imperial Helium's Steveville property is situated over a large
basement dome feature with four-way closure. The property is
approximately 200 kilometres ("km") east of Calgary and 40 km
northeast of Brooks where highways 544/876 cross the structure,
providing easy access for drilling and development. The property
includes land leased from Heritage Royalty Resource Corporation
covering 24,635 hectares (95 square miles), with rights for natural
gas, including helium, below the base of the Big Valley and Nisku
formations.
In the winter of 1940, the first deep well to be drilled in the
area was 13-22-020-12W4, which, owing to a mechanical failure on
surface, resulted in the Steveville blow-out. The blow-out is
estimated to have flowed at 50 million cubic feet per day
("MMcf/d") for 100 days. After the well was brought under control,
drilling resumed followed by production testing which came in at
six MMCf/d of non-burnable gas (87 per cent nitrogen; 0.63 per cent
helium). Subsequent wells 14-11-020-11W4, 16-11-020-12W4, and
01-24-020-11W4, which were drilled in 1953, 1974 and 2002,
respectively, confirm the structure. Imperial Helium has acquired
seismic data to provide an improved understanding of the basement
structure and select drilling locations.
