Hydrogen can naturally occur in the underground, just like natural gas. In Australia, hydrogen gas was detected in a gas well drilled in South Australia back in 1930, where the hydrogen is believed to be sourced from Cambrian granite basement. This project aims to simulate hydrogen production from fractured granite basement ussing commercial software e.g CMG, Petrol. It will be highly related with on-going hydrogen company project. Some geological data, well logging, coring data will be provided for the simulation.
