In 2008, approximately 169 million standard cubic meters(SCM) of helium were extracted from natural gas or withdrawn from helium reserves with approximately 78% from the United States, 10% from Algeria, and most of the remainder from Russia, Poland and Qatar. In the United States, most helium is extracted from natural gas of gas fields in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Diffusion of crude natural gas through special semipermeable membranes and other barriers is another method to recover and purify helium. In 2000, The U.S. has proven helium reserves, in such gas well complexes, of about 147 billion standard cubic feet (4.2 billion SCM). This is enough helium for about 25 years of world use, or 35 years of U.S. use, although factors in saving and processing are expected to impact effective reserve numbers. It is estimated that the resource base for yet-unproven helium in natural gas in the US is 31-53 trillion SCM, or roughly an order of magnitude more than the proven reserves.
