Mali Borakebougou field example
The first natural hydrogen producing field in the world.
Hydrogen is found in at multiple levels, sandstone reservoir with dolerite intrusions as seals or baffles
Archean & Proterozoic basement granites with through-going faults to surface
H2 source not proven, most likely candidate is ultramafics within the Archean and Proterozoic basement
Gas flowing from wells is 98% H2
Flow rates ~ 1400 m3 / day for the discovery well
Equivalent of ~20 mmscf/year
Well is only 112m deep
Well produced for 5 years without long-term depletion (apparently), but anecdotally well was shut-in occasionally to build pressure
Subsequent drilling - 20 wells, 18 successful
