Desert Mountain Energy has defined three edges of a Hydrogen field with wells #4 (11-1), #5 (1-1), #6 (10-1).
The Company has installed and cemented the surface and intermediate strings of casing and is nearing completion of drilling in the McCauley field. The Company intends to place and cement additional production casing to total depth based on information gathered from drilling operations thus far. The well will be drilled to a depth of roughly 4,000 feet into the granite formation’s top layer.
“Our excellent geologic and drilling team is meeting and hitting our objectives in this well. The company is now six for six in drilling wells in Arizona. We had originally seen multiple hydrogen bearing zones in wells #4 and #5. In well #4 we were not able to sample the hydrogen other than with the mass spectrometer. In well #5 & #6 we were able to see the full spectrum of all known elements and were able to decern that in three hydrogen bearing zones,” says Robert Rohlfing, CEO of DME.
“The thickest is approximately 32′ thick of extremely high quality without the presence of sulfur or other elements which would create detrimental issues with future production. Well #4 established the SE corner of the field, well #5 established the eastern edge of the field and well #6 established the SW corner of the field. Our internal geographic modelling has thus far, been within 2′ plus or minus on all helium and hydrogen bearing zones. Therefore, the Company feels that its current private and state leaseholds encompass all of the water-free production areas within the inferred nine to ten square miles of this field for both helium and hydrogen.”
“I am extremely proud of the great strides our engineering, drilling teams and our cementing contractor have made in respect to developing specific techniques using safe, food-grade and higher components for cementing casing in one pass,” says Robert Rohlfing, CEO of DME.
“We strive to be the successful innovators of our industry. The company is moving forward, innovating and developing responsible drilling techniques in a cost-effective and efficient manner. This serves to protect the surface and aquifers for future generations of Arizonians. In that spirit, we have chosen to work with the various state agencies to develop guidelines, based on our successes in varied downhole environments, then pass on critical information to any company drilling any type of well in Arizona so that the water resources can be protected.”
