Helium One Global Limited (LON:HE1) said in-fill seismic data collection is underway ahead of its maiden drilling programme at Rukwa in Tanzania, which is scheduled to start in mid-May.
Taking seismic data gives the flexibility to move straight from exploration to appraisal, further fast-tracking the timetable, HE1 added.
A drilling contract with Mitchell Drilling for an initial three-well programme was signed last week that includes an option over a fourth hole.
