Black Gold E3 goal is to process brine in order to extract lithium (and perhaps other minerals).
To do this, E3 will be drilling deep wells to bring brine to the surface and other wells
to return the processed brine. At Investor Day, Chris mentioned drilling multiple wells
from one well head.
At present, natural gas from the pilot plant is vented before the brine enters the
pilot plant.
When commercial operations begin, I assume that natural gas
would be collected and sold without affecting brine
processing ( if economic).
Is it possible that oil might be struck ? Would E3 simply drill deeper to collect
the brine ?
Just day dreaming....
