Love it. Awesome look back and review.
Really interesting! Thanks for that. I am just an investor in Desert Mountain but this presentation answers a number of questions I had.
Hey, I am a Geology student at MSU Denver looking to do some research with samples "from" Desert Mountain :)
Research “for” DME? That sounds fun.
@Eric Thornton yeah!
I am gonna be doing thin sections of some sample, like the on you saw in the video, and reporting back
Are you free to share anything about the testing?
@@ericthornton5252 I am gearing my research with some samples now more towards microfractures present in the cap rock, the Kaibab limestone, and quantifying the expansion of these tiny fractures that degrade the quality of your helium migration retarder, or rock that slows that helium gas migration. These tiny fractures will get larger over time, as the overbearing sediment and pressures decrease, we are talking millions of years. Further, at depth, these tiny fractures will seal themselves, or become filled with more easily dissolved carbonates. I want to know if these microfractures that have been "healed" are reopened with adjacent matrix acid stimulation processes, and also if there is a model that can be made when it comes to the age and depth of your reservoir top. I will be imaging these incredibly small structures with a scanning electron microscope.
fascinating. thank you
why did helium production stop?
Primarily deals with your producing formations watering out, or running out of extractable gas. Further reservoir pressures fall below economical extraction levels relative to new wells.
