D3 Energy spudded the RBD12 well within the ER315 permit, South Africa, advancing its exploration and appraisal programme for helium and natural gas. This follows recent successes, including RBD10's flow rate of 191mmcf/d (52% higher than previous tests) and helium concentrations of 4.7%. Historic gold-borehole, RBD03, also showed promising results, with 5.1% helium and an average flow rate of 147mmcf/d. RBD12 will further assess reservoir deliverability, with production testing set to guide future development and a potential Production Right application.
