白箱能源计划在南澳大利亚州钻探氢、和石油,预计2026年将产生结果。 Whitebark Energy plans to drill for hydrogen, helium, and oil in South Australia, with results expected in 2026.

Whitebark Energy 正在南澳大利亚 Officer 盆地的 Rickerscote 勘探区勘探氢气、氦气和碳氢化合物，使用高科技传感器来指导 Rickerscote-1 井的钻探，预计将于 2026 年底开始。 Whitebark Energy is exploring for hydrogen, helium, and hydrocarbons at the Rickerscote prospect in South Australia’s Officer Basin using high-tech sensors to guide drilling of the Rickerscote-1 well, expected to start in late 2026. Sproule ERCE 的一份报告估计，氢气含量高达 12 亿公斤、氦气 2090 亿立方英尺和油当量 1.53 亿桶，并得到有利地质的支持，包括被盐封闭的砂岩储层和上覆的放射性花岗岩。 A Sproule ERCE report estimates up to 1.2 billion kg of hydrogen, 209 billion cubic feet of helium, and 153 million barrels of oil equivalent, supported by favorable geology including sandstone reservoirs sealed by salt and overlying radioactive granites. 10月到期的传感器数据将为最后井井布置提供信息,而该公司正与Maralinga Tjarutja人一起测试传统土地上的自来水。 Sensor data, due in October, will inform final well placement, while the company is testing water bores on traditional lands with the Maralinga Tjarutja people. Whitebark正在寻求农场伙伴推动该项目,该项目可能成为一个主要的流域开放项目,如果成功,将大大提升其形象。 Whitebark is seeking a farm-in partner to advance the project, which could become a major basin-opener and significantly boost its profile if successful.
