DETAILS
announced today that it has taken another step in enhancing
its helium supply portfolio by
signing a long-term agreement for
the purchase of helium from
Nacogdoches Oil & Gas (NOG).
NOG operates a helium-bearing gas field
in Apache County, Arizona, and will supply
up to 100 million scf per year of helium
under the agreement,
with the potential for further expansion.
This unique field produces a gas
made almost entirely of helium and nitrogen.
Because helium is the primary product,
this source provides Praxair with unique flexibility
to respond to market conditions.
Amer Akhras,
general manager,
Global Helium and Rare Gases at Praxair.
“Developing this gas field with NOG demonstrates
Praxair’s commitment to expanding and diversifying
our helium supply so we can continue
to reliably meet our customers’ growing demand for helium.”
