Resource Development Experts
A well-rounded team with proven acumen in production engineering, geology, land acquisition, and creating value for shareholders by transforming resources.
Helium Evolution (HEVI) has amassed 5.6 million acres of helium land permits near proven discoveries of economic helium concentrations.
With this significant land base, a team of professionals with proven expertise in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, and a farmout plus strategic investment from North American Helium (NAH), HEVI has made significant progress over the past year and is uniquely positioned with multiple near-term catalysts:
-
- NAH has committed to drill seven test wells on HEVI lands. Two were drilled in Q4/22, one of which was abandoned and the other cased for further evaluation. Five additional test wells will be drilled before Q1/24, for a total of seven wells. Test wells are 100% funded by NAH with HEVI retaining a 20% working interest
- NAH commits to expeditiously drill development wells on the earned farmout blocks based on success with the first 3 test wells
- At no cost, HEVI received NAH’s proprietary seismic recently used to drill 3 successful NAH wells
In addition to our NAH farmout, HEVI continues to leverage its skilled technical expertise to focus on internally generated helium resource opportunities, and future drilling prospects across our extensive, world-class land holdings.
