Helix Exploration is a US-focused helium producer and liquefier. At our flagship Rudyard Project in Montana, Helix became the state’s first helium producer in February 2026 and began commercial sales in July 2026.
The company was founded by industry veteran Bo Sears, an expert with 25 years of experience in helium systems across North America. Helix listed on AIM in April 2024 and moved from exploration to commercial production in just over two years.
In July 2026 we acquired the Keyes Helium Complex in Oklahoma, one of only six operational helium liquefaction facilities in the United States. Owning production and liquefaction lets Helix capture value from the wellhead through to liquid helium delivery, and earn tolling revenue from processing third-party helium.
In Production
Montana’s first helium producer. Production since February 2026, commercial sales since July 2026, and 100% of available Rudyard volumes committed through March 2027.
Liquefaction
Keyes is one of six operational US helium liquefaction facilities, with tolling revenue from third-party helium.
Growth
Owned drilling rig, an accelerated well programme and a new membrane expected to roughly double Rudyard’s throughput capacity.
Critical Demand
Helium was designated a US critical material in October 2026 and is essential to semiconductors, MRI and aerospace.
