Vecta Project Drilling Update
Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM:MSMN) the helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon exploration, development and production company, announces an update on timing of the second well in the drilling campaign at the Vecta Project, Colorado, US.
Due to rainfall this week, the ground conditions are unsuitable for a rig move and as a result the drilling crew has gone on break returning on 16 June. The drilling rig is in the area and is ready to move onto location as soon as weather permits mobilisation.
The Vecta Project is located mainly in Las Animas County, close to the Red Rocks helium producing field and Blue Star Helium's Galactica development project. Helium concentrations of up to 11% have been encountered in offset wells and fields in the area, with the closest well, Texaco Cynthia True-1, flowing 8.8% helium from the upper Lyons sandstone.
This is the second of five wells planned in this drilling campaign testing five individual structural closures. The first well was drilled on the Billy Goat lease area to the east of The Bard. Mosman has a 20% working interest in The Bard lease area.

Andy Carroll, Chief Executive Officer of Mosman, said: "The drilling at The Bard lease area of the Vecta project is an exciting opportunity to test a second helium target in an area of proven helium development and production. We believe each of these wells has an excellent chance of discovering helium. The low-cost drilling of these wells enables data to be obtained quickly and at very reasonable cost."
