The Canadian province of Saskatchewan wants to have 10% of the global market share for helium by 2030.In figures,such a vision equates to $500m in capital investment,$250m in exports and hundreds of jobs-a huge opportunity for both the province and the ever-changing helium market,especially with prices of the natural resource having risen more than 160% since 2017.At the time of publication,Saskatchewan has the fifth-largest helium resource in the world with significant underground reserves with some attractive geology,according to Bronwyn Eyre,Minister of Energy and Resources for the Saskatchewan Government.In addition to that,the province currently has ten producing helium wells and Minister Eyre told gasworld the province's ambitious goal is to eventually surpass 150 wells."We know we have economically viable reservoirs and world class concentrations,"Minister Eyre told gasworld."We've done extensive geological surveying over the last few years,so we have confidence in what we put out in terms of estimates can come to fruition."
