Imperial Helium is a mid-tier Canadian company competing with major global players in the helium market. Unlike our early stage helium competitors, we’re sourcing high-value helium opportunities that are ready to extract, separate, and sell.
Historic discovery in Alberta, Canada with over-looked Helium
Multiple re-enterable well bores
>25 Square Miles Area
Helium ~0.6%, anticipate a uniform reservoir
>1BCF Recoverable Helium
Ability to sell or flare co-located natural and waste gases
Strategic Alliance
One of our defining principles is being best in class and partnering with like-minded external service providers. This will give our shareholders an amplified return on capital. Imperial Helium is working with best-in-class partners to solidify a strategic alliance and we look forward to bringing you further information on this.
Development Plan/Strategy
The scope of opportunities in front of Imperial Helium
645,431
Total oil and gas wells in Alberta and British Columbia - as indicated as dots on the map
189,154
Total wells with gas analysis
1,984
Total wells with ≥0.5% helium
The Strategy
Imperial Helium has developed a proprietary database of existing helium bearing well bores that are being evaluated for acquisition. Our targeting is focused on wells with proven concentration of helium and existing infrastructure. The analytical geoscience and engineering approach undertaken to source these helium opportunities eliminates the fiscal risk of finding uneconomic concentrations of helium in the exploration process.
The Targets
Imperial Helium is focused on acquiring and seeking to produce helium from a concentrated scope of assets.
Shut-in Wells
Use our proprietary database to source and analyze target wells with a proven concentration of helium
Focus on wells with existing infrastructure to reduce capital requirements for production testing and resource definition
Production cash flow realistic within 24 months from acquisition
Producing Assets
Source gas wells that are currently in production with economic levels of helium concentration (≥0.5% helium)
Partner with the producer to integrate our helium separator plants into existing facilities
Capture a new revenue stream for all partners involved and, given the specialist skills within Imperial Helium and our alliance partners, capture the value in attractive time periods
Exploration Acreage
Whilst not the priority of Imperial Helium, our database has defined exploration plays that are in proximity to producing assets and shut-in well targets
Focus on acreage with accessible mineral rights and near-term development potential
Production cash flow realistic within 36 months from acquisition
