Vecta Project
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 being drilled on the Billy Goat lease area to the east. 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.
“Each well location has been carefully selected by the very experienced team at Vecta with special acknowledgment of the work by the late Matt Goolsby.
“I 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.”
