Zak Mir talks to Andy Carroll, CEO of Mosman Oil & Gas, in the wake of today's news that the helium, hydrogen, and hydrocarbon exploration, development, and production company has announced the spudding of the first exploration well of a five-well programme in the Vecta Project, Las Animas County, Colorado, US. Highlights ·      | Drilling has commenced and surface casing set. ·      | The Barclay-TH 295 106A well will test the Lyons Sandstone formation at the Billy Goat lease area (“AMI”), with a planned total depth (“TD”) of circa 800ft in the Lyons Sandstone. ·      | Drilling will continue to determine top of Lyons formation, and then to TD. ·      | Gas will be tested to determine concentrations of gases, including helium. ·      | Wireline logging will be conducted at TD to determine the reservoir and gas/fluid properties. Vecta Project (90% interest in Billy Goat, 20% working interest in other areas) The Vecta Project is operated by Vecta and is located in Las Animas County, close to the Red Rocks helium producing field, and Blue Star Helium's Galactica development project. Helium concentrations of up to 11% have been encountered in offset wells and fields in the area, with the closest well, Texaco Cynthia True-1, flowing 8.8% helium from the upper Lyons sandstone. A total of five wells are planned to be drilled in this drilling campaign, testing five individual structural closures. Andy Carroll, Chief Executive Officer of Mosman, said: “The drilling of this Billy Goat well is exciting given the excellent lease position in a proven area of helium development and production “Each well location has been carefully selected by the very experienced team at Vecta and we believe each well has an excellent chance of discovering helium. The low-cost drilling of these wells enables data to be obtained at very reasonable cost. “This location has good access to infrastructure including roads, pipelines and the Ladder Creek helium plant located at Cheyenne Wells, about 100 miles north of Billy Goat.”

The helium exploration and development company focused on helium deposits within the ‘Montana Helium Fairway', after the company announced the commencement of construction work on an access road and drill pad, at the Ingomar Dome project area in Montana. The latest Oak Securities note on Helix Exploration: Oak Securities – Helix Exploration (HEX) – Rudyard Acquisition (FINAL) Highlights ·    Construction commenced of 0.75-mile access road and drill pad at Ingomar ·    Two well Q3 2024 drilling program: Clink #1 well at Ingomar and Darwin #1 well at Rudyard ·    Drilling of Clink #1 well to commence following completion of civils ·  Combined budget cost of the two well programmes are estimated at approximately $4.1m which demonstrates the potential for the Company to operate cost-effective exploration and development within the state of Montana Timeline Construction on the access road and drill pad has commenced at the Clink #1 location within the Ingomar Dome Project.  The access road has been surveyed at 0.75 miles, allowing Civils work to be completed relatively quickly over a short development distance.  Following completion of Civils the Company targets to commence drilling operations in early-August: ·    Mobilisation and rig-up is anticipated to take approx. 1 week ·    Drilling is anticipated to take approx. 3-4 weeks ·    Wireline and well completion is anticipated to take approx. 1 week ·    Flow testing and appraisal is anticipated to take approx. 4 weeks The Company will keep investors updated as drilling progresses via RNS, potentially including updates on commencement of drilling, significant helium gas shows in drilling mud, wireline results, initial flow test results and full flow test results. Budget Quoted costs for drilling at Ingomar and Rudyard have come in below budget: The quoted cost for drilling and appraising the Clink #1 well at Ingomar is approximately $2,130,000 including extended well test but excluding contingencies.  Significant savings were achieved using local suppliers from within the state of Montana, reducing mobilisation costs and standing-time charges. The estimated cost for drilling and appraising the Darwin #1 well at Rudyard is approximately $1,980,000 including extended well test but excluding contingencies.  The cost of drilling at Rudyard is lower than Ingomar due to the shallower target depth at ~5,500ft at Rudyard compared to ~8,000ft at Ingomar. The Company benefits from relatively low drilling costs in Montana compared with other jurisdictions as well as from savings made by the Company in vendor selection. Expected savings to be achieved will help maintain adequate funding for planned development activities after completing the two-well Q3 2024 drilling campaign. These activities may include project pipeline growth, detailed plant engineering and construction financing. Helix Exploration is a helium exploration company focused on the exploration and development of helium deposits within the 'Montana Helium Fairway'. Founded by industry experts with extensive experience of helium systems in the US, the Company's assets comprise of 52 leases over the Ingomar Dome; a large closure of 16,512 acres with P50 unrisked prospective helium resource of 2.3Bcf and upside of 6.7 billion cubic feet. Historic drilling and/or testing has identified gas in all target reservoir horizons. Helix Exploration will focus on a drilling campaign and early production at the Montana Ingomar Dome Project.  An aggressive development timeline will see a drilling campaign targeted for Q3 2024 and first helium production targeted for Q4 2025.  Helix is committed to open and transparent communication with investors and the wider market as the project progresses through development. The Company's Admission Document, and other information required pursuant to AIM Rule 26, is available on the Company's website at https://www.helixexploration.com/.

Helium One Global Ltd (AIM:HE1, OTCQB:HLOGF) CEO Lorna Blaisse speaks to Thomas Warner after the AIM-listed Tanzanian explorer released an update on drilling at the Tai-3 well. Blaisse explains the decision to pause drilling and declare TD, saying that the company's primary concern is preserving the integrity of the wellbore, avoiding further complications, and ensuring the safety of the operation. Blaisse also discusses the promising signs observed so far, particularly in terms of helium shows. The helium readings in the drilling mud have exceeded atmospheric levels, indicating the potential presence of significant helium reserves in the deeper intervals. While Blaser was cautious about defining success at this stage, she highlights that the next steps involve collecting downhole samples to determine the concentration and grade of helium within the reservoirs. The wireline program, including the collection of gas samples under reservoir conditions, will provide crucial insights into the potential helium reserves. The company aims to receive early preliminary results in the coming weeks. Despite the optimism, Blaisse notes that a full declaration of a discovery may take several months. Specialised laboratories outside of Tanzania will be involved in validating the results, with the international logistics process adding to the timeline. However, Helium One Global is committed to expediting the process and eagerly awaits the outcomes of their exploration.

Today’s episode features an interview between Matt Trifiro and Rodney Richter, Enterprise Architect at Hewlett Packard Enterprise and member of the LF Edge Technical Advisory CouncilRodney has been with HPE since 2015, and previously held numerous positions over 19 years with AT&T, including Principal Network Planning Engineer responsible for AT&T Wireless and Wireline access network virtualization.In this interview, Rodney takes us through the technological and logistical challenges of implementing edge solutions at the enterprise level, the thinking that led HPE to develop an entire product line of edge servers, the types of use cases that are getting traction today, and more.Key Quotes"Everybody's looking for ways to optimize their business. As they invest in edge, it’s about what can they do differently and how do they make it more efficient…looking at ways to automate at the edge to be able to do things that they've done before, but haven't done as quickly or as efficiently.""Over the next 18 months, I think we're going to see the evolution of the network edge a lot more. At least in the open source community, a lot of applications and platforms are being developed that are going to help move things forward, especially evolving from some legacy platforms and seeing the data move from the data center out to the edge.""We've been in the edge business for quite a few years now and I see the next 18 months just starting to explode. Customers that are going to either implement [edge solutions] at their customer sites or they're going to be using network edge.""A lot of devices that are generating data typically were analog, now have moved into the digital age. So you now have the need to be able to collect and process that data at the edge…And you do that by developing a whole new product set….so you can run the applications that you typically run in the data center, but now you can run them at the edge.""The edge and the cloud and the data center and the mini clouds, it’s all going to be part of an overall solution. You need to look at the application that's going to be running or set of applications or platforms and what are the requirements for each. Some things will operate in the data center, some will operate in the cloud, and some will be at the edge. You're going to use all of those as a tool set to be able to develop an overall solution."SponsorsOver the Edge is brought to you by the generous sponsorship of Catchpoint, NetFoundry, Ori Industries, Packet, Seagate, Vapor IO, and Zenlayer.The featured sponsor of this episode of Over the Edge is Packet, an Equinix company.

Alex Quach, General Manager of Intel’s Wireline and Core Network Division, joins Chip Chat to talk about his team’s efforts to drive new levels of network performance to support advanced edge use cases and the continued evolution of 5G services. With early 5G deployments supported by existing LTE networks, many communication service providers (CommSPs) have been focused on transformation of the radio access networks to roll out new devices and enhanced mobile broadband services. In order to deliver on 5G’s promise of ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), CommSPs are extending user plane virtualization from the core networks to the near-edge, far-edge and on-premise edge. A next generation central office (NGCO) moves virtualization solutions one step towards the customer from the core. CommSPs are retooling thousands of COs to support 5G user plane function, wireline access and support services, such as content delivery networks, cloud gaming and augmented reality (AR), with lots of headroom for growth. Quach detailed work with companies like Alibaba*, Cisco*, Ericsson*, Nokia*, Rakuten*, RedHat*, Tencent* and others to drive user plane virtualization across the near-edge, far-edge and on-premises edge and explained how FPGAs, new storage capabilities and AI building blocks complement compute and network capabilities to support a variety of virtualized network functions (VNFs) and new services. He described multi-access edge computing (MEC) as a super set of all edge computing that supports a wide variety of use case and deployments particularly in the far-edge.
