This flow rate was calculated to be 63 thousand cubic feet per day (“mcfd”).\n\n· Gas samples have been sent for analysis to determine composition.\n\nGiven these gas flows, casing will be set before drilling into the primary target zone, the Lyons formation, which is sealed by the overlying Blaine anhydrite. The expected depth of this well is circa 800 feet.\n\nLayers of soil layers with black text AI-generated content may be incorrect.\n\n![](https://www.share-talk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/513bd8d6-70ac-4af3-8fff-2e27b23e6590-300x151.webp)\n\nSchematic cross section illustrating the geology within the Vecta Project Area.

Mosman has a 20% in the other four lease areas.\n\nThe Barclay well on the Billy Goat lease area is the first well of a five well drilling campaign.\n\n![](https://www.share-talk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/f95137b0-a9e9-4e3e-8b38-6fa981bcccbd-300x202.webp)\n\nLocation Map illustrating the five prospects identified by surface mapping within the Project Area. (Courtesy of Vecta Oil and Gas Ltd.)\n\n**Andy Carroll, Chief Executive Officer of Mosman, said:** “The gas flows to surface from the Entrada formation are a positive indication of both gas charge and seal capacity at this shallow level.\n\n“The primary target is the underlying Lyons formation helium reservoir which is sealed by the Blaine anhydrite which will be drilled once casing has been set. It is anticipated that drilling of this well will be completed in the next few days.”\n\nEnquiries:\n\nMosman Oil & Gas Limited\n\nAndy Carroll\n\nCEO\n\n[acarroll@mosmanoilandgas.com](mailto:acarroll@mosmanoilandgas.com)"}
