U of I researchers hope to demonstrate that a large drone can be an effective tool for restoring wildfire-scorched rangeland in rugged and inaccessible locations.
Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd (AIM:MSMN) CEO Andy Carroll talked with Proactive about the company's progress at the Billy Goat project in southeast Colorado, where it has spudded the first well in a five-well helium exploration programme in partnership with Vecta Oil & Gas. This comes after Mosman increased its interest in the Billy Goat lease area from 20% to 90%. Carroll explained that helium prices have surged—now approximately 100 times the price of natural gas—creating a strong incentive for exploration and production. He noted that the Victor site benefits from shallow target depths and nearby infrastructure, making it a cost-effective project. “We're very pleased to have increased percentage on the first well,” Carroll said, referring to the company's growing footprint in the area. He highlighted that Mosman's broader helium portfolio also includes the Sagebrush and Coyote Wash projects, where it holds significant interests of 82.5% and 100%, respectively. Carroll confirmed that helium has already been identified at Sagebrush and that re-completion and testing are planned. With existing infrastructure located nearby, the company expects that success at Vecta could quickly translate into revenue. For more videos, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd (AIM:MSMN) CEO Andy Carroll talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the newly-released maiden resource estimate for its Sagebrush Project in Colorado. The announcement marks a key milestone for the company, confirming the presence of helium—a component long suspected but only recently verified through data room analysis. “The helium confirmation that we found in the data room not long ago is… the missing link,” Carroll said, explaining that this evidence allows Mosman to quantify contingent resources at the Sagebrush structure using seismic data. These results not only support a near-term development plan but also open the door for extended flow testing of the well and a move toward production. Carroll also highlighted promising potential in the adjacent Coyote Wash lease, where 6 to 8 larger structures have been identified using the same seismic dataset. He noted that this data will allow the company to release further prospective resource estimates soon. Significantly, the Sagebrush site benefits from existing infrastructure, including access roads, a well-maintained production pad, and a mothballed pipeline that may be repurposed to transport helium and associated gases to market. Carroll confirmed that an extended flow test and development plan are expected in the coming months. For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

In this episode, Dr. Leif Tapanila and Peter Pruett sit down with Heath Mann, Abby Kiefner, and Emma Morton from the Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust to discuss conserving land and protecting the unique landscapes of the American West.
Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd CEO Andy Carroll talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a significant milestone at the company's Sagebrush-1 well, located in the Leadville formation. Carroll revealed that historic gas sample data from 1993 confirms the presence of helium at a concentration of 2.7%, alongside 20% methane. This discovery enables Mosman to transition from exploration to evaluating the commercialisation of the helium resource. “We were actually looking at a possible work-over at the existing well to get a gas sample, but we've got about 30 boxes of data from the previous operator and found in those boxes the original gas sample report,” Carroll said. The gas flow rate from the earlier test was in the range of 152 to 163 thousand cubic feet per day, indicating potential for commercial development. Carroll also noted the strategic benefit of methane being present alongside the helium. The methane could be used for on-site power generation to support helium processing, reducing dependence on external power sources. Additionally, existing infrastructure—including a mothballed pipeline and nearby helium plants—could significantly streamline transportation and processing. Looking ahead, Mosman is preparing feasibility studies and engaging with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and regulatory authorities to conduct further 3D seismic work. These efforts aim to refine drilling plans across the Sagebrush area and adjacent Coyote Wash leases.

Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd (AIM:MSMN) CEO Andy Carroll talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest developments at the Vecta Helium Project in Colorado. Carroll confirmed that drilling is scheduled to begin by mid-May, with rig mobilisation underway and each of the five wells expected to take just two days to drill. Testing will follow before the rig moves to the next location, and a series of drilling updates will begin in approximately four weeks. “It's the first time we've had a specific schedule with Vecta,” Carroll noted, emphasising the significance of this milestone for the company. He said each prospect within the five-well program has its own exploration risk profile, but collectively, the program boosts overall success probability. Carroll also discussed encouraging signs from nearby operations, such as the Blue Star and Helium One joint venture, though highlighted variability in helium concentrations across different wells. Mosman is also progressing other projects, including seismic activity at Coyote Wash and Sagebrush. Carroll said early results are promising, and meetings are ongoing with technical consultants and local stakeholders, including the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comMalheur means “misfortune”. It comes from French-Canadian trappers who applied the name to the SE Oregon area, when in 1818, a cache of beaver furs was believed to be stolen by local indigenous people. Malheur River, Malheur County and Malheur National Wildlife Refuge all take their names from this origin story.Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is a wonder. Its main geologic feature is the basin lake: Malheur Lake. It's similar in one way to The Great Salt Lake, a closed basin lake, but Malheur is technically an intermittent basin lake. In wetter years the water flows outward and onward from the lake. This prevents salts from building up, keeping it a fresh water habitat. For this reason, and because is surrounded by arid lands, it is a migratory bird haven. The refuge was created in 1908, partly in response to the wholesale slaughter of egrets and herons for their plume feathers, which were used as ornamentation on women's hats of the time. Eventually the reserve grew to 293 square miles in size. It's a beautiful, quiet country. Sagebrush uplands surround the lake and riparian habitats. It really is something to realize that when you boil it down, the Euro-American expansion in to western North America was hastened by hat fashion. Before gold, there were beavers, herons and egrets. That's where the easy money was. Showy hats with little practical value. Beaver hides were felted and often dyed black for bowler, fedora and top hats.Today, in wet years, high numbers of nesting colonial birds, including White-faced Ibis can be found here. I associate Florida and the gulf coast with ibises, not Oregon. Observing these birds here feels novel to me. Ibis can be heard in this recording, on the wing, ranging by. There's all kinds of shorebirds too, on the shorelines and mudflats. The melodious Western Meadowlark, welcomes in the day. As for Malheur, it's arguably a word more apropos to the fate of the Native Americans than the trappers and settlers. In the winter of 2016 a different kind of “malheur” played out, but we'll save that for Part 2, next week. The environmental audio was recorded from the sagebrush uplands pointed towards the vast shallow lake wetlands. This soundstage was truly large; on the order of 1000 acres across the auditory horizon. The instrumentation is familiar for a Listening Spot recording. (This is 7th such effort.) String-like sounds with slow attack and decay rise and fall in movements. Among the more novel sounds are undulations; gently percolating guitar voices and fuzzy textures. It gets very quiet and sparse at the 19 minute mark (Track 9) near the end. A Whimbrel can be heard in the distance, while high thin tones punctuate the ambience in a plaintive sort of way. It seems like the quietest moments are usually my favorites. I hope you'll check it out.Thanks for reading and listening. I'm grateful for you. Malheur Suite I is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Amazon, YouTube…) Friday, March 14th.
The glorious song of the male Sage Thrasher rings out every Spring from tracts of sagebrush throughout the west. Sagebrush was once widespread in the Great Basin region, and so were the thrashers. But huge areas of sagebrush were turned into alfalfa and potato farms, and the songs of the thrasher aren't so common today. Sagebrush badly needs advocacy. The Important Bird Areas program works to protect key habitats for birds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

The Bruneau Owyhee Sage Grouse Habitat (BOSH) project is a collaborative partnership of state and federal agencies, wildlife advocacy groups, and private landowners to restore native upland landscapes in Southwest Idaho to a more natural condition benefitting sage grouse, songbirds, antelope, spotted frogs and other wildlife. Conifer encroachment is now recognized as the second most significant threat to sage grouse populations in the Western U.S., second only to invasive grasses like cheatgrass. The partnership has mobilized money and people to control juniper on more acres than have ever been treated in contiguous pieces. In this first episode based on the Idaho Life on the Range series, project partners discuss the genesis of the project, science behind sage grouse habitat enhancement, and possible future activities. Guests in the this episode are: Steve Stuebner, writer and producer of Life on the Range, a public education project sponsored by the Idaho Rangeland Resources Commission. Connor White, project manager for Pheasants Forever, based in Boise. Jeremy Maestas, National Sagebrush Ecosystem Specialist, USDA-NRCS Working Lands for Wildlife, out of Bend, Oregon. Visit the BOSH Project episode page at https://artofrange.com/episodes/aor-138-bosh-project-restores-sagebrush-sea-grand-scale-maestas-white-stuebner to watch the documentary video and read other reports of this effort.

Cheatgrass and other invasive species are threatening important rangelands and helping fuel severe wildfires in Eastern Oregon. Lisa Ellsworth is an associate professor and range ecologist at the college of agricultural sciences at Oregon State University. She joins us to explain how these areas have been affected by invasive species, extreme wildfires and human activity and what that means for the future of a crucial Western ecosystem.
