"Minnesota's Mind-Boggling Helium Reservoir: 1.1 Billion Years in the Making"

A helium reservoir in Minnesota has been found to contain "mind-bogglingly" high concentrations of the gas, with new laboratory readings revealing concentrations up to 13.8%, the highest ever seen in the industry. The discovery by resource exploration company Pulsar Helium, Inc. could potentially lead to commercial extraction, addressing critical shortages in the U.S. The reservoir, located at depths of 2,200 feet, is unique as it contains helium without hydrocarbons, and its properties are being reviewed to determine its suitability for commercial production.
