About Helix
From explorer to integrated US helium producer in just over two years.
Helix Exploration PLC (LSE: HEX) is a US-focused helium producer and liquefier building an integrated position across the helium value chain. Its flagship Rudyard Project in Montana commenced production in February 2026, with first commercial sales in July 2026. Following approval from the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation on 15 October 2026, production has restarted after the regulatory pause announced on 3 September 2026.
Helix is now expanding Rudyard through a drilling and processing capacity programme, supported by its own drilling rig, while the July 2026 acquisition of the Keyes Helium Complex in Oklahoma provides ownership of one of only six operational helium liquefaction facilities in the United States.
The combination of producing helium resources, owned drilling capability and liquefaction infrastructure gives Helix unique control across the value chain and creates multiple avenues for growth, including increased production, third-party processing and liquefaction.
Helix is focused on scaling a vertically integrated helium business positioned to serve the growing North American and global markets.
