Helium in the Australian liquefied natural gas economy
Australia is about to become the premier global exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), bringing increased opportunities for helium extraction. Processing of natural gas to LNG... -
Hydrogen in Australian natural gas: occurrences, sources and resources
Natural or native molecular hydrogen (H2) can be a major component in natural gas, and yet its role in the global energy sector’s usage as a clean energy carrier is not normally... -
Origin and use of helium in Australian natural gases
Over 800 natural gases representative of Australia's hydrocarbon-producing sedimentary basins have been analyzed for their helium abundance and around 150 gases for their helium... -
