U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Estimates 306 Billion Cubic Feet of Recoverable Helium in the United States

Excerpt:  “The natural gas reservoirs of the United States contain an estimated 306 billion cubic feet of recoverable helium, according to a new report from the U.S. Geological Survey. This is the first-ever estimate of recoverable helium resources from the USGS. ‘This helium assessment is a perfect application of our long-standing research on geologic reservoirs ranging from natural gas resources to carbon dioxide storage potential,’ said Sarah Ryker, USGS associate director for energy and mineral resources. ‘This publicly available assessment will provide an unbiased estimate of the remaining volume of helium that private markets can rely on.'”
