Environment

North American Helium manages its environmental responsibilities with the goal of minimizing any impacts on the environment and meeting and surpassing all applicable regulations.

Environmental Compliance

We manage our environmental responsibilities with the goal of minimizing any impacts on the environment and meeting and surpassing all applicable regulations. We are committed to being responsible stewards of the land. Prior to any project regulatory application, our land and operations staff conduct extensive studies of plant and animal habitats that could be impacted by our operations. By proactively working with stakeholders to avoid environmental disturbance, we are able to be more efficient and have a smaller environmental footprint.

Protection of Habitats

Our drilling operations use environmentally conscious materials and the majority of the site cleared for our drilling operations is returned to active farmland within a year after we complete a well. In addition, NAH supports local conservation groups like the Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan (“PCAP”) and the South of the Divide Conservation Action Program (“SODCAP”).

For more information on PCAP please visit www.pcap-sk.org and for SODCAP please visit www.sodcap.com.

 
 

Emissions

Helium fields in Saskatchewan are found predominantly in nitrogen charged reservoirs where it makes up 93-97% of the gas produced. Nitrogen is a clean, inert carrier gas that comprises approximately 78% of the earth’s atmosphere. It’s also what makes NAH’s helium supply ~99% cleaner from a CO2e emissions perspective relative to other global sources which are largely derived from hydrocarbon-linked resources
