• The processed seismic is providing significant insights into understanding the
extent of the hydrogen and helium system within the Nemaha Project.
• Seismic is required to define material prospects that become drilling targets in
HyTerra held leases over the Mid-Continent Rift.
• In parallel, an in-depth rock physics analysis was completed to assist in identifying
hydrogen, porosity, and different rock types in seismic data.
• A very powerful in-house subsurface knowledge and competitive edge is being
built based on integrated airborne surveys, seismic, rock data, fluid data, well
logs, and an extensive regional geological database for safe exploration and
appraisal of geologic hydrogen in the Mid-West USA.
HyTerra Limited (HyTerra or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has
completed the acquisition and processing of its proprietary seismic program in HyTerra held leases
above the Mid-Continent Rift in Kansas. This exploration program funding is sourced from an
investment in the Company by Fortescue Future Industries Technologies Pty Ltd.
Seismic Update

As previously announced, a seismic acquisition program was completed earlier in the year based
on results of a high-resolution airborne gravity-magnetic data acquired in March.
Since acquiring the survey, processing has been completed using external and internal resources.
In conjunction with seismic processing, a rock physics study was completed by external experts to
integrate newly acquired well logs from wells drilled by HyTerra, with legacy wells to quantify
lithology, porosity, and fluid discrimination in the seismic domain.
Currently, HyTerra is interpreting the seismic data in conjunction with the recent airborne survey
acquired over a larger area. The integration of the two different data sets has enabled a detailed
understanding of the area and is enabling HyTerra to identify significant structures and trapping
styles. Seismic interpretation continues to be a critical requirement for HyTerra to select any drilling
locations and drill them safely.
The integration of airborne surveys, seismic data, rock data, fluid data, well logs, and Avon McIntyre, Executive Director commented “It’s great to see the results of the hard work from the team and our supporting experts. Integration of the three critical datasets being multiple airborne surveys data, high quality seismic, and recent well data has been rewarding. When combined with rock physics and geochemistry, this becomes a very powerful dataset for HyTerra to utilise. We are making tremendous progress on derisking geologic hydrogen in the Mid-West USA based on geoscience foundations.” regional geological understanding provides considerable in-house subsurface knowledge and a competitive edge to identify and safely drill geologic hydrogen targets.
