Helium production and storage in the United States, 1940-2014 (data from USGS) In 1903, an oil exploration well at Dexter, Kansas, produced a gas that would not burn.. Kansas state geologist Erasmus Haworth took samples of the gas back to the University of Kansas at Lawrence where chemists Hamilton Cady and David McFarland discovered that gas contained 1.84 percent
The Crude Helium Enrichment Unit in the Cliffside Gas Field. Remnants of the Amarillo Helium Plant in 2015. The National Helium Reserve, also known as the Federal Helium Reserve, is a strategic reserve of the United States, which once held over 1 billion cubic meters (about 170,000,000 kg) [a] of helium gas.

The Federal Helium Reserve was supposed to be sold off in 2021. Scientists hope it will remain in government hands. The fate of America's largest supply of helium is up in the air
The brine in the Pennsylvanian Morrow Formation in the Anadarko Basin contains about 300 parts per million iodine, and is the only current commercial source of that element in the United States. Three companies extract iodine from brine produced as a byproduct of natural gas production from depths of 5,000 feet (1,500 m) to 13,000 feet (4,000 m).
Global demand could exceed 322 million cubic meters by 2035 for the gas used widely in manufacturing due to its cooling and inert properties, said the report, released in August. The global ...
In 1914, helium was mooted in Britain and the United States as a replacement for hydrogen in barrage balloons and aircraft. [8] The first major development in helium production was the Helium Conservation Act of March 3, 1925. It established a production and sales program under the control of a centralized entity, the United States Bureau of ...
