American Noble Gas Commences Drilling Operations on Initial Exploratory Well to Explore and Develop Natural Gas, Helium and Brine Minerals in the Hugoton Field
The company announced yesterday that a drilling rig had been moved to the designated location yesterday and was on the verge of starting the initial portion of the work. It was a major development for the company since moving the drilling rig marked the start of the drilling exploration operations in relation to American Noble Gas’ work as part of a farm out agreement that had been announced previously.
As per the provisions of the agreement, the company is going to explore and develop brine, helium and natural gas at the site. The site in question is the Hugoton Field located in Haskell and Finney Counties in Kansas. The announcement from the company yesterday may have led to a strong rally in the American Noble Gas stock but it now remains to be seen if the stock can actually manage to hold on to its momentum and charge forward in the same direction in the coming days.

The Hugoton Farm-Out Venture sees the logic of its unconventional theories and the potential impact it may have, in particular the helium reserves that the field may still contain”, commented Stan Ross, Chairman and CEO.
