University research labs are struggling to cope with rising helium prices
Some university laboratories are in 'crisis mode' as rising helium prices seriously impact their work. Ongoing rises in helium prices, most recently affected by supply shortages and by the end of helium auctions from the U.S Bureau of Land Management's helium reserve, are causing some universities to postpone experiments or decommission vital equipment. Impact of helium price rises in the U.S ...

Lab gas price bulletin April 2018
Helium supply is under pressure and labs are already struggling to secure their usual allocation. Since the Qatar embargo caused a helium supply shortage in June 2017 the U.S Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which controls around 50% of the global helium supply, has been allocating crude helium feedgas to helium refining facilities. As a result, some helium distributors are limiting supplies of ...

Helium cost concerns
Although it is the second most plentiful element in the universe after hydrogen, helium is relatively rare on Earth. Helium, unlike hydrogen, cannot be easily produced via a simple chemical process. It is produced by radioactive decay of elements such as uranium and thorium and is usually extracted from natural gas fields where it is normally most abundant. Once helium is released into the ...
