## Answer
Quick answer Helium and natural gas are priced very differently: natural gas trades as a large-volume energy commodity, while helium is a scarce, separately marketed gas priced independently of natural gas, which is why helium content matters to owners on Hugoton-Panhandle acreage. How helium is valued and paid depends on the gas stream and lease terms. Mineral and royalty owners on helium-bearing Panhandle production can sell their interests to Buckhead Energy for a free written offer.
