Scientists unearth one of world’s largest helium gas deposits

I'm paying ~$250 for a T cylinder of helium right now. Low volume customer with a yearly cylinder lease, regional welding supply company (Maine-Oxy).


edit: in New Hampshire, USA

helium is never found alone, its a trace component of natural gas deposits. its often not profitable to separate it out and its lost to the atmosphere

There are a couple companies that are purely helium ventures, mostly Canadian. The stuff Ive seen is in north central Montana near the border, not really oil and gas country.

There have been various "new source" reports for a long time now, at least 10 yrs. Hard to know which ones even pan out but for sure demand continues to outpace supply

My last order earlier this year I grabbed 3 T bottles of UHP and it was 1.50 cad so 1.14 usd cubic foot

I most recently paid $250 for a T cylinder, granted with an account.

A friend of mine who was getting fully set up with a home filling station tried to get UHP from the primary supplier in his area, a nationwide company, and they said they could not get it for him. They said that if they could get it for him, it would be over $900 a T-Cylinder. I have an account with that company (I use a different location), and so he went in and used my account number. They had it in stock at my price, about a quarter of what they told him he would have to pay if it were available for him.

I have learned that prices vary dramatically for reasons that are completely mysterious to me. Quite a few years ago, when I was first doing this sort of thing, I went into a local shop for that same national company and created an account so I could get oxygen. They told me it would cost me $90 for a T-Cylinder. I said, "Whoa! A friend of mine gets it here for $60." The guy looked at his computer and said, "OK, I can do that." Not many months later they sold it to me for $30.

I pay ~6.9 cents per liter from nearby clubs here in Sweden.
Shops are roughly twice that.

Costs Finland 18 euros per 500 liters in club. So 0.036 euros per litre. It rising every 6 month.
