Our Operations: from wellhead to liquid helium
Helix Exploration has developed a pipeline of projects based on 25-years’ experience exploring Helium within the region.
Why Montana?
A helium system extending from Saskatchewan to Wyoming. The ‘Montana Helium Fairway’ is named after several helium discoveries made in the Cambrian Flathead Formation on the western edge of the Williston Basin.
- Hosts helium production from North American Helium and Weil Group
- Helium is generated in ancient crust and migrates along major structures
- Nitrogen gas is an important exploration indicator and all helium discoveries on the Flathead Fairway are associated with nitrogen
- Existing infrastructure located across the state for the processing, storing and transportation of helium gas
- Supportive government officials and legislation for exploration and production – natural gas has been successfully produced from Montana for decades
- Safe geographical jurisdiction
Helix operates across the helium value chain:
- Rudyard, Montana (Production): Montana’s first producing helium field, with on-site PSA processing and an owned drilling rig supporting an accelerated drilling programme.
- Keyes, Oklahoma (Liquefaction & Tolling): independent purification and liquefaction infrastructure that can process Helix and third-party helium.
- Ingomar, Montana (Exploration): an exploration project with helium and hydrogen shows at Clink #1.
Drilling began in Q3 2024. Production at Rudyard commenced in February 2026, with commercial sales from July 2026, and the Keyes Helium Complex was acquired in July 2026.
