Helium Production by State 2024

Helium Production by State 2024

Helium production in the United States is primarily concentrated in several key states, with varying methods of extraction and refinement. Kansas leads the nation in helium production, with eight plants refining crude helium extracted from natural gas, alongside Grade-A helium production. Texas follows closely behind, with four plants refining crude helium from natural gas sources.

Other notable states in helium production include Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, each with varying degrees of production. Colorado, for instance, has three plants refining both Grade-A helium and crude helium from natural gas, while Oklahoma boasts two plants producing Grade-A helium and refining crude helium sourced from other producers.
