Pulsar Helium triples Jetstream #1 flow rates to 501 Mcf/d, secures funding, and gears up for a 10-well drilling campaign. Here’s why it matters and what’s next.
This article covers information on Pulsar Helium Inc..
LON:PLSRPulsar Helium has reported a step change in well performance at its flagship Topaz project, with the Jetstream #1 appraisal well now naturally flowing around three times faster than in 2024. On 15 August, Jetstream #1 delivered a peak natural flow of approximately 501 thousand cubic feet per day (Mcf/d) on a 38/64-inch choke at roughly 30 psi wellhead pressure (WHP), and crucially, without any compression.
For context, the same well peaked at around 150 Mcf/d at 34 psi during initial appraisal in April 2024. In plain English: under near-identical pressures, Pulsar has unlocked significantly better deliverability from the same hole. That speaks to effective wellbore clean-up and deepening, and a formation that is willing to flow.
Beyond the headline peak, Jetstream #1 posted long-duration, stable flows of 150-300 Mcf/d for 12-18 hours on smaller choke sizes, showing no meaningful decline and then rebounding quickly in pressure once shut in. That kind of behaviour indicates strong reservoir recharge capacity.
Importantly, the gas flowed as dry gas – no formation water was encountered. Dry flow is usually a positive for future processing simplicity and costs.
On 26 August, Pulsar added further colour: under wellhead compression, Jetstream #1 flowed over 1.3 million cubic feet per day. Compression is essentially mechanical assistance to increase drawdown. It does not replace the importance of natural flow, but it does show how production equipment could materially lift rates when the time comes.
Pulsar has moved to scale the programme. The company has signed a drilling contract and Master Services Agreement with Timberline Drilling Inc. to drill up to ten wells, with spud of the first well expected in late September 2025. If executed well, this is the kind of campaign that can convert flow-test success into a coherent field development story.

Meanwhile at Tunu in Greenland, Sproule-ERCE has been engaged to run a pre-feasibility study (PFS). A PFS is an early-stage engineering and economics study used to test project viability and underpin future decisions. It will give Pulsar a more robust technical and financial framework for Tunu as the story evolves.
Pulsar remains pre-revenue, investing in the drill-bit and technical work. The nine-month net loss was $8,515,252, a marked improvement on the prior period’s $21,444,007 loss. Note that this period includes a non-cash gain on revaluation of warrant liability of $1,103,615, whereas the comparable period had a non-cash warrant loss of $12,371,353. Non-cash swings like these can materially affect the bottom line.
| Metric | Nine months to 30 Jun 2025 | Nine months to 30 Jun 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $Nil | $Nil |
| Net loss | $8,515,252 | $21,444,007 |
| Loss per share (basic and diluted) | $0.07 | $0.24 |
| Total assets | $1,878,670 | $2,303,843 |
| Total liabilities | $5,601,399 | $8,188,020 |
Cash at 30 June 2025 was $617,626, which is lean for an active drilling-led explorer. However, financing events bookend the period:
Investors should note that at 30 June, liabilities of $5,601,399 exceeded assets of $1,878,670. That underlines the reliance on continued external funding until commercial sales begin.
Operationally, Pulsar has delivered a meaningful improvement in flow performance at Topaz and lined up the rigs to try to scale that success. Financially, the company remains reliant on external capital, but has demonstrated access to both equity and debt-like facilities. If upcoming wells substantiate these flow rates across the structure and the PFS at Tunu adds optionality, Pulsar’s early-mover helium thesis gets much harder to ignore. As ever at this stage, execution and funding discipline are the twin levers to watch.
