Researchers from the University of Glasgow are investigating ancient helium trapped in South Africa's Witwatersrand Basin, which may contain over 400 billion cubic feet of gas. The study focuses on understanding helium's formation and migration through geological structures, while also examining the role of microbiological activity in gas accumulation. This research aims to enhance helium supply predictions and inform sustainable extraction strategies, complementing Renergen's Phase 1 plant that produces liquefied natural gas and liquid helium daily.
