Alberta has taken steps to catch up. Alberta announced [PDF] a helium-specific royalty rate in May 2020, effective retroactively to April 1, 2020. At 5% minus a Helium Royalty Adjustment Factor of 0.75%, the effective royalty rate in Alberta is 4.25% for all wells from which helium is recovered. This is the same rate as Saskatchewan's royalty.

Liquid helium is for example indispensable as a refrigerant in cryogenic systems such as magnetic resonance imaging. On Earth, the most important natural helium occurrences are found in the atmosphere and in natural gas. Because of its low concentration in air – only approx. 0.0005% – helium is recovered primarily from natural gas.
