A New Approach to Helium Gas Exploration

The 100+ year old method of extracting helium from natural gas wells containing tiny concentrations of helium – 0.3% to 0.5% – has served us well, but is limited and pressure to stop sourcing fossil fuels is mounting due to climate change.

In the areas we have under licence in Tanzania, we expect to find large scale volumes. Already in Tanzania we have observed seeps of up to 18% helium at surface; this is almost 40 times the normal concentrations in the small number of natural gas fields that currently provide most of the world’s helium.
