Researchers have hit on what could be the largest reserve of helium in North America at a drill site in Minnesota.
Whether the site could support a full service extraction plant and supply large quantities of helium depends on the size of the reservoir, which is still being assessed. Nevertheless, the find could be one of the most significant in the world thanks to extremely high and unparalleled concentrations of helium, Abraham-James told CBS News.
To be considered for commercial extraction, the concentration of helium in natural gas must be above 0.3%, according to the American Chemical Society. Concentrations measured between 1,750 and 2,200 feet deep at the drill site in Minnesota knocked the ball out of the park at 12.4%.
