The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs is providing a $149,125 Project Grant to the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe under the Minerals and Mining on Indian Lands (CFDA 15.038) program. The grant award supports the tribe's efforts to reprocess 400 miles of existing in-house 2D seismic data to identify and evaluate potential drilling locations for helium, oil, and gas targets on their tribal lands. The goal is to have at least one drill-ready location by early 2026. This work aims to substantiate domestic helium supplies, which are critical for manufacturing semiconductors, healthcare devices, clean energy, and other important technologies. The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe believes their unique geologic formations on tribal lands could provide a favorable environment for helium production, potentially setting them apart from other domestic helium projects that are struggling economically.
