Canada’s Helium Evolution has today (17th Oct) confirmed that its partner, North American Helium (NAH), has secured the licenses to drill two joint wells in the Mankota area in Saskatchewan.
The licenses will progress the previously announced drilling programme, through which Helium Evolution and NAH set out plans to drill up to nine joint wells between Q3 2024 and Q2 2025.
Greg Robb, President and CEO of Helium Evolution, described the news as the crucial first steps in the programme.
“We are working closely with NAH to secure licenses for the remaining seven wells.”
The already-approved licenses are for the 7-2 well and the 3-19 well, both of which are delineation wells designed to further assess the reservoir potential in the area. The 7-2 will be drilled first.
Back in February (2024), Helium Evolution reported that its 9-35 well flow tested at approximately seven million standard cubic feet per day and 9,000 kilopascals flowing tubing pressure during the six-day extended flow period.

The gas composition of the 9-35 well is 0.64% helium and 96.7% nitrogen.
