HELIUM
Helium is a noble gas and the smallest of all known elements, the second lightest and has the lowest boiling point. This combination
numerous applications. It also does not react to other elements or chemicals, making it the only gas that can be used to purge the liquid engines of super colliders and rockets. As helium is lighter than air, it is actively being lost into space. However helium is also actively being created via the decay of naturally occurring radioactive elements in rocks over time. The produced helium is liberated and carried in saline groundwater. This is the setting for the American Helium project, where the released helium has been transported by groundwater and can accumulate in porous geological formations such as sandstone. As a high-value product, liquid helium can be transported to reserves and processing facilities via ISO containers mounted onto trucks with no pipelines being necessary.

MARKET
A very large market currently dominated by the USA
Current global demand estimated to be over 6 bcf per annum, and to be worth over US$ 6 billion. USA is the largest producer with a 55% share in 2016, followed by Qatar with 32%, and Algeria, Australia, Russia, Poland and Canada also contributing smaller shares. Recent known reserves for Helium producing countries are 137.73 bcf for USA, 63.57 bcf for Algeria and 60.03 bcf for Russia. He

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Global supply falling while demand increases
US reserves are dwindling due to the lack of helium production from its oil and gas fields and the country had already started importing helium from Qatar

Demand Forecast (3% CAGR) USA (exc. BLM) BLM* Qatar Algeria Australia Canada Poland Russia American Helium Opportunity
Demand for Helium projected to increase steadily fueled by increased demand for current applications and emergence of new applications driven by innovation Supply expected to be constrained as US Bureau of Land Management depletes its Helium reserve facility by 2020. In addition, c. 32% of 6 billion cubic feet global helium production is lost due to the sanctions on Qatar (not represented in above graph)

HELIUM PRODUCTION
Concentration of production among a handful
driver of uncertainty of supply and volatility
Current export restrictions and other imposed sanctions on Qatar will significantly reduce the world’s supply in the short term. Additional production capacity is expected to come online in Russia
restrictions, but the unstable political environment in Russia may lead net buyers to look for other ways to remedy shortages. As long as the helium market is driven by only a handful of countries, it will continue to be at the whim of domestic and international politics, and volatile. The Bureau of Land Management’s current auctioning of helium reserves which is expected to continue until 2020 until depleted (save for a strategic stockpile of 3 bcf), will lead to a further drop in supply,
Research analysts predict helium gas demand to grow at between 6.4% (IHT Markit) to 9% (Technavio) CAGR over the next decade, well above supply.
