HyTerra’s Nemaha Project in Kansas is currently involved in drilling three exploratory wells along the Nemaha Ridge of the Mid-Continent Rift Zone in Kansas to evaluate the potential for producing geologic, or natural hydrogen gas, as well as helium. They also plan to further evaluate a well in nearby southern Nebraska on their Geneva Project with their partner on that project, Natural Hydrogen Energy.
A LinkedIn comment by
Benjamin Mee, executive director of HyTerra:
“We have the largest exploration program globally that I
know of publicly which positions us well (data is king), but it’s more
important to us to deliver this on time, on budget, and safely.”
The company’s Blythe 13-20 well was drilled to a total depth of 5053 ft, with 2272 ft drilled into the Precambrian basement rocks section. This is 3100 ft deeper than the historic Scott-1 well drilled in 1982, which was found to have 56% hydrogen concentration in the gas stream.
Below are several slides from HyTerra's April 2025 corporate presentation.
Isotube gas samples were
taken from the wells by NH2E and analyzed by Isotech Laboratories in Illinois.
The company plans to drill several deeper wells targeting different traps along
fault zones and develop regional geophysical data to further develop the
prospect area. They have good, plausible local offtake opportunities for both
hydrogen and helium.
This is an exciting project that could
have significant potential for developing hydrogen and helium prospects all
along the Mid-Continent Rift System, which is extensive and present in several
states in including Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and possibly Ohio and Kentucky - as some geologists believe that the
so-called Grenville Front there is more accurately a part of the Mid-Continent
Rift System.
