Sharp Fall in Cliffside Helium Production

The US BLM's (soon to be Messer's) Cliffside Helium Plant has seen an unusual dip in production since Mar'24. In early March helium production fell to 1.4mmcf/d from 1.8mmcf/d in February. Although production remained around this level in March, flows to the pipeline were heavily impacting taking average flows down to 1mmcf/d. Since 4th April helium production has fallen to virtually zero. Also, pipeline pressure over the last week fell from normal levels of ~1,300psia to 1,000psia. There is no official reason provided by the US BLM or Messer as yet.
