PHC expects existing wells to be fully operational within 60 days with only minor rework.\n \n \n \"This Monarch Lease acquisition is a tremendous success for the PHC as it represents the second phase of its expanding helium and gas portfolio,\" said\n \n Bill Kerrigan\n \n , President of PHC. \"Combined with the Syracuse Helium Project, PHC's properties now cover almost 15,000 acres, which is sufficient to address the short-term goal of bringing existing wells into production.\"\n \n \n The Byerly Field is near PHC's 13,000-acre flagship Syracuse Helium Project, known as the Syracuse Field\n \n (see News Release of\n \n January 27, 2021\n \n )\n \n .  Currently, PHC is reworking existing wells on the Syracuse Field and plans to drill new...
