Buru Energy has detected up to 4.9 per cent hydrogen over small intervals at the Rafael 1 well in the Canning Basin, Western Australia.
The specialised hydrogen mudgas detection unit on the rig has also detected hydrogen up to two per cent in the zone with mudgas hydrocarbon.
“The somewhat unexpected but very welcome presence of hydrocarbon shows with additional indications of above background helium and hydrogen content in the sandstones above the expected main reservoir section indicates that there is an active petroleum system and valid trapping mechanism at the Rafael location,” Buru Energy executive chairman Eric Streitberg said.
