Most of the U.S.’s Helium was originally coming from a well in Amarillo Texas. All those WWII blimps etc. got it there. Must be tapped out I guess...

Just like many other resources, China is willing to pay more. This creates shortages.

In natural gas drilling, helium is considered an unburnable impurity. If I had a well that produced a few percent helium and another that produced pure methane, the pure methane well would be better unless it was worth my trouble to chill the mixed gas and distill out the helium. With a lot of new natual gas wells being drilled, a lower percentage of the gas is coming from the helum rich wells in Texas.
