Petrel Robertson Consulting Ltd. is pleased to announce our partnership with Imperial Helium Corp. (www.imperialhelium.ca), a Vancouver-based junior company exploring for helium in western Canada.

Helium is a valuable commodity with many advanced high-technology applications. It is commonly extracted as a by-product of natural gas production, although it may also occur in gas reservoirs dominated by other inert gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide with little or no hydrocarbon content.

World helium demand is increasing every year, while long-term supplies from the United States are in decline, and new supplies from the Eastern Hemisphere carry considerable political risk.

Historically, helium production from Western Canada has been limited, but PRCL has developed new exploration strategies, leveraging our extensive technical and strategic knowledge of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. We will supply geoscience and engineering expertise to Imperial Helium in identifying, appraising and developing new helium production.
