Quebec Innovative Materials: 86% of soil gas samples show thermogenic wet-gas signature

Quebec Innovative Materials reported thermogenic wet-gas signatures in 86% of New Salem—Apple River soil-gas samples. Dry-gas signatures accounted for 8.7% of classified samples; 3.4% fell in the condensate-to-oil range; biogenic or mixed totaled about 2%. Results support a conventional gas and helium model tied to the same structural corridor as its Bennett Hill discovery, which returned up to 30% H(2). Around 50 line-kilometers of 2D seismic acquisition is under way to image targets beneath the anomaly corridor.
