VVC Drilling Wells on Plateau Helium's Syracuse Property
Aug 19, 2021

VVC Exploration Corporation ("VVC" or the "Company") (TSX-V:VVC) is pleased to announce the following updates from Plateau Helium Corporation (PHC), VVC’s wholly owned helium exploration and production company:


  • Drilling on the first new Syracuse well, Durler 2-21, began on August 2nd with drilling completed on August 12th. The well was drilled to a depth of 5,500 ft and encountered 2 gas zones that showed helium. The well completion, perforation, well-head installation, and attachment to the pipeline for commencement of production will occur in approximately 2 weeks.


  • Drilling of a second Syracuse well, Levens 2, began on August 14th and is expected to be completed on August 22nd. The well completion, perforation, well-head installation, and attachment to the pipeline will begin shortly after.


  • Drilling of a third Syracuse well is scheduled to begin on August 24th.


All potentially productive gas zones encountered during the drilling of these wells will be evaluated. If a firm pattern is established one or more additional rigs may be added.


VVC President Jim Culver commented, "With the drilling of these wells, we are getting closer to generating positive cash flows from the helium business. This is the Company’s immediate goal, as it will help provide funding to the Company's other projects."

How Clean is the Nickel and Lithium in a Battery?

07 May, 2024
The production of lithium (Li) and nickel (Ni), two key raw materials for batteries, can produce vastly different emissions profiles. This graphic from Wood Mackenzie shows how nickel and lithium mining can significantly impact the environment, depending on the processes used for extraction.

DOE Announces $500 Million to Build a Safe and Reliable Carbon Dioxide Transportation System

03 May, 2024
As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today announced up to $500 million available for projects that will help expand carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation infrastructure to help reduce CO2 emissions across the United States. Meeting the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of a net-zero emissions economy by mid-century will require accelerating the responsible development and deployment of technology to capture CO2 emissions from industrial operations and power generation and to remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere. These efforts must be supported by a safe and reliable system that can transport the captured CO2, either for permanent geologic storage or for conversion to useful, durable products.
