In 2008, approximately 169 million standard cubic meters(SCM) of helium were extracted from natural gas or withdrawn from helium reserves with approximately 78% from the United States, 10% from Algeria, and most of the remainder from Russia, Poland and Qatar.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.
What else can I help you with?
Were is helium is most commonly be found in?
According to astronauts everywhere helium is mostly found in stars
Where is helium commonly found in the universe?
The universe is mostly comprised of empty space and therefore the helium is found in certain places. It is found on Earth and some other planets, but it is most commonly found in stars such as the Sun.
Where is Helium most commonly found in the atmosphere or in the oceans or in the earth's crust?
Helium is most commonly found in the Earth's crust, often in natural gas deposits. It can also be found in the atmosphere in small amounts. Helium is not typically found in significant quantities in the oceans.
Where is helium most commonly found?
Helium is most commonly found in natural gas deposits deep underground, where it is produced as a byproduct of the natural decay of radioactive elements. It is also found in small amounts in the Earth's atmosphere, although it is typically extracted from natural gas reserves.

Water and hydrocarbons are commonly found in asteroids. Helium and hydrogen are less common, but can also be detected in some asteroids.

Where is helium commonly found in?
Helium was first discovered in the sun spectroscopically. It get its name from the Greek word, Helios, meaning "the sun".

Water and hydrocarbons are commonly found in asteroids. Helium and hydrogen are less common, but can also be detected in some asteroids.
Where is helium most common found?
helium is a gas and is found only in the earth's atmosphere
