National Helium Reserve, Gas storage facility in Amarillo, Texas, United States
The National Helium Reserve contains natural gas storage formations within the Bush Dome reservoir, located 12 miles northwest of Amarillo in Texas.
The Federal Helium Program started in 1917 to provide helium for military blimps during World War I, leading to the Helium Act of 1925.
The facility represents American technological advancement in gas storage, contributing to military operations, space exploration, and scientific research throughout the 20th century.
The reserve produces approximately 2 billion cubic feet of helium annually from the Cliffside Gas Field, supporting medical equipment, laboratories, and industrial applications.
The facility includes a 425-mile pipeline network connecting private helium recovery plants to the Cliffside gas field, processing gas through specialized metering stations.
