$QIMC $QIMCF Lachute, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - December 5, 2024) - Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (FSE: 7FJ) (OTC Pink: QIMCF) ("QI Materials", "QIMC" or the "Company"), - QIMC is pleased to announce another set of results from the recent regional gravity survey conducted as part of our ongoing Fall 2024 exploration campaign for the Ville Marie Clean Natural Renewable Hydrogen Project. "This new data will play a pivotal role in advancing our development and extraction of hydrogen in the region, reinforcing our commitment to clean energy and sustainable hydrogen development," notes John Karagiannidis, CEO of QIMC. The gravity survey, carried out by INRS at 50-meter spacing along lines established during the summer 2024 Soil-Gas survey, provides essential information about the deep Archean geology beneath the Proterozoic sedimentary rock covers. (see Figure 1) This includes the Cobalt Group and the Ordovician rocks of the New-Liskeard Group. "The primary goal of this survey was to enhance our understanding of the geological formations that contribute to hydrogen formation and migration, particularly within the context of the Temiscamingue graben exploration model" states Professor Marc Richer-Lafleche.

Dynamic accumulation of a high-grade gas hydrate system: insights from the trial production gas hydrate reservoir in the Shenhu area, northern South China Sea - Frontiers in Marine Science: The ultimate enrichment level and quantity of gas hydrate resources are influenced by the dynamic process of accumulation and preservation. High-resolution 3-D seismic data, logging while drilling (LWD), pressured coring, and in situ testing were used to characterize the dynamic accumulation and preservation of the trial production high-grade gas hydrate reservoir (HGGHR) in the Shenhu area. Through seismic variance analysis and ant-tracking, we found that newly identified mud diapir-associated faults with three development stages controlled the migration and accumulation of gas hydrate and shifted the base of the gas hydrate stability zone (BGHSZ), resulting in dynamic accumulation and dissociation of gas hydrates. The recognized double bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs) were concluded to have been formed due to the shift of the BGHSZ caused by the variational equilibrium conditions. The interval between the double BSRs was inferred to be a disequilibrium zone where gas recycling occurred, contributing to the coexistence of gas hydrates and free gas and the dynamic formation of the HGGHR. Multiple gliding faults formed within the GHSZ in the late period have altered the HGGHR and control the present thickness and distribution of the gas hydrates and free gas in the hanging wall and footwall. Under the influence of geothermal fluids and the fault system associated with the mud diapir, the HGGHR experienced dynamic accumulation with three stages, including early accumulation, medium-term adjustment, and late alteration and preservation. We conclude that four factors affected the formation, distribution, and occurrence of the HGGHR: the geothermal fluids accompanying the deep mud diapir below the reservoir, the dual supply of thermogenic gas and biogenic gas, the recycling of hydrate gas beneath the BGHSZ, and the post-gas hydrate faults developed within the GHSZ. A geological model illustrating the dynamic formation of the trial production HGGHR was proposed, providing a reference for future exploration of HGGHRs with a great production potential in deepwater settings. https://lnkd.in/eKUaHR3E

In Spring 2025, the Department of #Geosciences will be offering the first #geothermal #energy course in the 153 year history of the University of Arkansas. What is geothermal energy? What role does it have in the energy transition? Can geothermal work in #Arkansas? Can it work geologically, economically, politically? Course flyer below. BTW... also in spring 2025 erik pollock will be teaching the first ever #uark Geosciences Department #critical #minerals course. Way to go Erik!

Advancements in technology are crucial for finding and developing new gas fields, which are essential for maintaining energy supplies as older fields decline. These advancements help reduce the risks and increase the efficiency of exploration. The energy geoscience industry is Making Energy Possible. #MakingEnergyPossible

If you asked my parents what my PhD research is about, guaranteed their answer would be "oh I'm not sure, something to do with hot rocks" … I've told them countless times over the dinner table 🙃   Recently, I wrote an article describing my research at an introductory level and why it's important, specifically across UK and Ireland. Hopefully this blog gives some insight into the significance of exploring geothermal reservoirs (and will help my parents understand what I do!)

Consequently, reservoir characterization workflows, drilling technology, production techniques, and reservoir monitoring plans are highly variable depending on the type of geothermal reservoir being targeted. This session will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with exploration and development in all types of geothermal reservoirs from both geologic and engineering standpoints. The session chair is Eric Stautberg (Colorado School of Mines) Panelists include: Andy Sabin Tony Pink Shuvajit Bhattacharya, PhD Whitney Trainor-Guitton, PhD Emma McConville, MSc.
