D3 Energy has overcome a brief weather-induced pause at its Nooitgedacht helium project in South Africa, with drilling operations set to restart and production testing planned shortly.

Blue Star Helium has delivered its third helium trailer from the Pinon Canyon Plant, signalling steady progress toward full production capacity. A fourth trailer is currently being filled as the company pursues further plant optimisation and commercialisation of CO2 byproduct.

Gold Hydrogen has successfully flowed, purified, and bottled helium at its Ramsay 1 well, confirming a highly productive reservoir and advancing the project towards commercial viability with promising helium rates and purity.

HyTerra's McCoy-1 well production test in Kansas reveals low gas saturation but notable helium concentrations, prompting a pause on further testing at the site as the company refines its geologic hydrogen strategy.

D3 Energy has successfully drilled and intersected gas in the first of two wells at its Nooitgedacht site in South Africa, with the second well underway. The results support expanding helium reserves and future production rights.

Blue Star Helium has completed the commissioning phase of its Pinon Canyon helium plant, secured a three-month helium offtake agreement with a major US buyer, and begun selling helium as it prepares for production ramp-up in the second half of 2026.

Prominence Energy has validated elevated helium and natural hydrogen levels in South Australia, backed by independent lab and satellite data, while securing $1.56 million to fund its next exploration phase targeting mid-2027 drilling.

Thor Energy reported a robust cash position of A$2.8 million at June 30, 2026, and confirmed natural hydrogen concentrations up to 3% at its HY-Range Project. The company awarded a fully funded 464 line-kilometre 2D seismic survey to Velseis, marking a key step towards drilling.

D3 Energy has expanded its helium resource base significantly in South Africa, certifying a maiden contingent resource at ER386 that boosts combined helium resources by 65%. The company also certified its first Australian prospective resource and started drilling at Nooitgedacht in ER315.

Constellation Resources has advanced its Western Australian exploration with granted permits targeting natural gas, hydrogen, and helium, alongside promising copper-gold drilling results at Ularring. The company is raising $3.22 million through an entitlement offer to fund further exploration.

Prominence Energy outlines a disciplined, capital-efficient plan to advance its South Australian helium and natural hydrogen projects toward drilling in mid-2027, backed by low-cost exploration and strategic funding options.

D3 Energy has begun drilling the first of two wells at its Nooitgedacht site in South Africa’s ER315 permit, aiming to boost helium reserves and support production right conversions.
