Nick Tulk, the CEO of Voyager Life, conducted on-site at their helium well near Dodge City, Kansas. The well, known as the Rost well, is set to start production soon, with a helium content of 5.1%. The well has been completed, and they are preparing to begin extracting helium, purifying it on-site due to the remote location, and then transporting it to the market.
Nick mentions that they expect to start pulling water within the next week or two and aim to begin selling helium within the next month or two. The discussion also touches on logistical considerations, such as trucking the helium to the market and visiting other wells in the area, including the Smith and Nelson wells, which are already connected to the Scout Gathering system and selling helium.
