Abstract: Helium has been a strategic resource of the United States since 1920 when the National Helium Reserve was established, but in recent decades it has become more important to our national security and our economy. A shortage of the gas developed to the point that processors of the gas saw their crude helium supplies rationed starting in 2005 which impacted consumers starting in 2008. The presentation will cover the properties and uses of helium, and the successful efforts to alleviate the shortage. The sources and economics of helium production will also be discussed. Biography: Richard Rieman is a professional engineer registered in Texas and Oklahoma. He has drilled and completed oil and gas wells both onshore and offshore in eight states including fracture stimulations, artificial stimulation, water processing, and surface requirements. From 2006 to 2012 he worked in the National Helium Reserve where he raised helium production by about one million cubic feet per day. This stabilized world helium supply at about 8MMCF per day, ending a shortage. He has also abated frac interference between horizontal wells, prepared reserve estimates, Spill Prevention and Cleanup Contingency Plans, and a wind and wave assessment for an offshore platform. Mr. Rieman has published several technical papers and is semi-retired after a long career.
