The genesis of natural hydrogen exploration
HydroGenesis believe that natural hydrogen exists in large quantities in the subsurface, we just haven’t been looking in the right place. We are developing an exploration concept to pioneer this…

Hydrogen storage in a depleted gas reservoir – how easy is that?
“When Rough was under natural gas production and later as a gas storage facility, the geology was not considered to be particularly important ”, said Katharine Howell from Exceed during…
Acquiring seismic data for oil exploration in 1980, but using it to find hydrogen now
“A great talk!” I looked at the notes I took during Brian Evans’ talk at the AAPG ICE Conference in Madrid in November last year. It was a great talk…
Helium – the birth of a new exploration industry
Multiple dedicated helium discoveries have recently been made, but reserves have yet to be proven
This is the time of subsurface by-products
Speaking to an Aberdeen audience about 10 years ago, Jon Gluyas argued that the North Sea oil business was in essence a water industry. Looking at volumes of produced water…
Two hydrogen exploration wells completed in Australia, but what to make of the results?
Gold Hydrogen Ltd. has drilled its first 2 wells on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Both wells have encountered high concentrations of hydrogen as well as unexpected levels of…
The helium well that produces 93% CO₂
In the USA, 0.3% or 3,000 ppm helium in the gas stream is regarded as the cut-off for profitable onshore production. Yet, French company 45-8 Energy has identified a prospect…
Discovery of Australia’s first natural hydrogen field
Australia’s first dedicated hydrogen well is a success! Last month, Gold Hydrogen drilled the Ramsay-1 well on the Yorke Peninsula to the west of Adelaide, SA. The well twinned the…
Australia’s first dedicated hydrogen exploration well
Drilled in relative proximity to Adelaide, this hydrogen exploration attempt could result in quick access to a market.
A new hydrogen play
Exploration for geologically occurring hydrogen is taking off worldwide. In May, FDE announced a serendipitous discovery of hydrogen whilst drilling for coalbed methane in the Lorraine region in France. In…
Producing gas and helium from a gold field
In the Archean, braided rivers formed fan deltas along the shores of the Witwatersrand Sea in what is now South Africa. Today, the Witwatersrand Basin is known as the world’s…
The world’s first storage project of 100% hydrogen in a sandstone reservoir
After many years of preparation, last week saw the start of injecting 100% hydrogen into the Rubensdorf gas reservoir, onshore Austria. The injected hydrogen is generated through the electrolysis of…
