Subsurface intelligence

Laboratory analysis of gas composition from seeps and shallow wells to characterize hydrogen sources and migration patterns.

Geological processes that generate dihydrogen through oxidation of iron-rich minerals in ultrabasic rocks or water-rock interactions deep underground.

Time-lapse seismic surveys that reveal dynamic changes in subsurface fluid movement by detecting small changes in wave speeds over repeated surveys.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Mantle8's core initiative to explore and develop natural hydrogen resources in France using proprietary seismic imaging, geochemistry, and AI-driven modeling technologies. The programme includes pilot drilling campaigns in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Series of exploratory wells planned for the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region to test natural hydrogen accumulation, reservoir pressure, flow rates, and longevity.
