    Area of Science:

    • Geosciences
    • Energy Policy
    • Resource Management

    Background:

    • Helium is a valuable resource found in U.S. natural gas fields.
    • Burning natural gas for fuel leads to helium loss to the atmosphere.
    • The Helium Act of 1925 and its 1960 amendment aimed to conserve helium.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the historical U.S. helium conservation policy.
    • To assess the impact of the 1971 termination of the helium purchase program.
    • To highlight the need for a new federal helium policy given new discoveries.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical policy analysis.
    • Review of litigation and controversy surrounding helium conservation.
    • Assessment of current helium reserves and future supply needs.

    Main Results:

    • A government helium purchase program, initiated in 1960, was terminated in 1971.
    • This termination led to significant helium waste and protracted legal disputes.
    • Existing helium sources are nearing depletion.

    Conclusions:

    • Past federal helium policies have been contentious and resulted in resource loss.
    • A newly discovered helium source in Wyoming offers a long-term supply potential.
    • Development of a new federal helium policy is crucial for future resource security.
