PetroSun Announces
U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s Crude Helium Auction
Results
Phoenix, AZ -- September 06, 2018 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- PetroSun, Inc (OTC PINK:
PSUD) announced today the results of the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) FY 2019 Crude Helium Auction held in Amarillo,
Texas on August 31, 2018. The FY 2019 crude helium auction was the
last auction by the BLM as the Federal Reserve of crude helium will
reach the minimum level of 3 billion cubic feet that is mandated by
legislation. Future sales to private industry will be discontinued
and the remaining crude helium molecules will be reserved for
Federal users until the BLM privatizes its helium
assets.
A total of 210 million cubic feet of
crude helium was auctioned off at an average price of $279.95 per
thousand standard cubic feet (Mscf). This average price is $160.64
Mscf greater than the average price of $119.31 Mscf that resulted
from the FY 2018 auction. This represents a 135% increase in
average price. It should be noted that crude helium must be
processed to commercial grade purity prior to availability to
distributors and end-users, thereby increasing the final wholesale
and retail market price.
PetroSun controls more than 300,000
acres in the Four Corners (Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico)
that contain commercial quantities of helium with up to 9.3% helium
in the gas stream by third party laboratory analysis. PetroSun and
its affiliate Arizona Energy Partners are currently scheduling
helium and oil development operations that will commence at the end
of the monsoon season in the next few weeks.
During the past few months, PetroSun
has been in extensive discussions with most of the major industrial
gas companies regarding Liquid Helium Offtake Agreements. These
discussions are continuing, but PetroSun does maintain the option
to transport and distribute helium through its affiliate United Gas
of North America. R. Gerald (Jerry) Bailey, PhD, PetroSun Executive
Director and United Gas CEO, will spearhead the United Gas helium
operations. Dr Bailey is a retired President of Exxon-Arabian Gulf
and a frequent guest on national business news programs.
