Getech teams with Kingfisher Energy for hydrogen and helium exploration

Getech has won two contracts with Kingfisher Energy Corporation to search for natural hydrogen and helium accumulations in Canada.

Under the terms of the contract, Getech will utilise its gravity and magnetics capabilities along with geoscience understanding to analyse the selected region. This will add to Kingfisher’s access to local data.

Getech will also utilise artificial intelligence (AI) to support the work. Getech also uses magnetic and gravity data, combined with machine learning, to map structures and identify potential hydrogen and helium deposits.

The companies are now working together with a series of potential project areas for both hydrogen and helium already identified.

Richard Bennett, CEO at Getech, said, “Hydrogen and helium are nascent industries, but we are becoming increasingly well placed in both markets. Made possible by our gravity and magnetic data set that covers the whole globe, coupled with our interpretation capabilities.”

“This is a significant commercial advantage and one we will bring to bear to support Kingfisher in commercialising its exploration objectives.”

The insights from Getech’s analysis will significantly accelerate Kingfisher’s process to select prospective areas.

Brian Glover and Murray Rodgers, Co-Chair and CEO of Kingfisher, said, “With Getech’s world-class geoscience solutions and their track record in resource exploration, we are well-positioned to advance our natural hydrogen and helium projects.”

“This collaboration strengthens our ability to deliver on our commitment to pioneering clean energy solutions in North America.”

Kingfisher wants to expand its exploration strategy and has therefore signed an additional strategic collaboration agreement with Getech to extend collaborative work beyond Q1 2025.
