Pulsar Helium Reports Additional High-Pressure Gas Zones Encountered at Jetstream #6, Topaz Helium Project, USA
Executive Summary
- Pulsar Helium’s Jetstream #6 appraisal well at the Topaz Project intersected three additional pressurized gas zones, including two intervals with estimated bottom‑hole pressures above 1,000 psi.
- Drilling will continue to a total depth of ~3,000 ft before the rig moves to drill Jetstream #7, located ~2.2 mi northwest of the discovery well.
- The Topaz Project now has six appraisal wells (the sixth still in progress) with a 100% success rate of intersecting pressurized gas, supporting the company’s geological model and future helium development plans.
Key Details
- Pressurized Gas Zones Identified:
- 1,287 ft – estimated BHP 576 psi (previously reported Feb 9, 2026)
- 2,120 ft – estimated BHP 981 psi
- 2,187 ft – estimated BHP 1,012 psi
-
2,377 ft – estimated BHP 1,100 psi
-
Operational Observations: Gas bubbling through drilling fluids at surface confirmed presence of pressurized gas in the intersected intervals.
-
Drilling Methodology: Continuous HQ core drilling (3.8‑inch) to maximize geological sample recovery.
-
Planned Completion: Jetstream #6 to reach ~3,000 ft total depth; rig then mobilizes to Jetstream #7 with a similar target depth (~3,000 ft).
-
Topaz Project Context:
- Located in Minnesota, USA – stable jurisdiction with existing infrastructure.
- Six appraisal wells drilled to date; all intersected pressurized gas (100% success).
-
Identified helium, helium‑3, and CO₂ concentrations; helium‑3 has strategic applications (national security, quantum computing, advanced energy).
-
Forward Outlook: Continued technical work aimed at expanding resource understanding through further appraisal, testing, and analysis; Jetstream #7 slated for drilling after completion of Jetstream #6.
