I know of no commercial hydrogen accumulations in the earth. It is such a small molecule that it can only be trapped by salt or basement (think granite). The same goes for helium. The industrial hydrogen is produced from methane.

That is because according to greenie mythology there is only one... in the village of Bourakebougou in Mali, Africa. But the details of this are a little sketchy and available almost exclusively from lefty publications...

This is a more a, "I'll believe it when I actually see it." type of situation.

Isn’t this one of the silliest notions you ever saw? To think that in all these years of petroleum exploration in looking for traps, drilling structures of all kinds all over the world we have failed to find any commercial hydrogen accumulations. I personally have drilled hundreds of wells across the globe and never once had a single gravel gauger once tell me of a single show of hydrogen on his gas chromatograph

Well, there was that one time Halliburton tried hydrogen as a gas block for cement and nearly blew us up. It did blow the bushings out of the rotary table

I’ll weigh in on this as an absurd pipe dream. Just another green wet dream
