First Helium 已开始在位于阿尔伯塔省北部的 Worsley Property 钻探其已探明未开发 (PUD) 7-30 油田。在钻探 7-30 垂直井后，承包商的钻井平台将直接移动到 7-15 位置，在 2 月初开始钻探，除非出现任何不可预见的延误。该公司将继续定期更新正在进行的现场活动。

First Helium 总裁兼首席执行官 Ed Bereznicki 表示：“我们很高兴再次开始钻探，首先是上周末开钻的 7-30 轻质油开发井。接下来，我们将钻探影响巨大的 Leduc 异常区 7-15，从地震数据来看，该异常区的面积约为我们成功发现的 1-30 轻质油池面积的 5 倍。这两口井的良好结果将进一步降低 Leduc Play 的风险，我们已在专有 3D 地震数据中确定了另外 10 个主要位置，并有可能进一步向东南延伸至我们全资拥有的土地。”

7-15 垂直井位置已准备好进行钻探。两处位置相距约 6 公里，距离较近，可实现高效的钻机转移并最大程度降低动员成本。根据结果，正在做必要的准备工作，以便在艾伯塔省春季休市之前完成、装备和连接这两口井。

First Helium has begun drilling its proven undeveloped (PUD) 7-30 oil location at its Worsley Property in Northern Alberta. Following drilling of the 7-30 vertical well, the contractor’s drilling rig will move directly to the 7-15 location to begin drilling in early February, barring any unforeseen delays. The company will continue to provide regular updates on ongoing field activities.

“We are excited to be drilling again – starting with our 7-30 light oil development well which spudded this past weekend. We will follow up by drilling our high impact Leduc anomaly, 7-15, which on seismic is approximately 5X the areal extent of our successful 1-30 light oil pool discovery. Favorable results from these two wells will further de-risk our Leduc Play, where we have identified 10 additional primary locations on proprietary 3D seismic, and potential for further southeast extension across our 100% owned lands,” said Ed Bereznicki, President & CEO of First Helium.

The 7-15 vertical well location has been prepared for drilling. The proximity of the two locations, approximately 6 km apart, will enable efficient rig transfer and minimize mobilization costs. Subject to results, necessary preparations are being made to complete, equip and tie-in the two wells prior to spring break up in Alberta.
