5. Australia 

Estimated Helium Reserves: 3.6 billion cubic meters

Australia’s helium reserves are estimated to be 3.6 billion cubic meters, an impressive figure that positions it among the world’s primary resource holders. The country produces 4 million cubic meters of helium as of current. The disparity between the vast resource pool and the current production rate is attributable to a complex interplay of economic, infrastructural, and geopolitical factors. Infrastructure-wise, helium extraction, purification, and transportation require substantial investments, contributing to the relatively low production volume.
