worldwide demand

Helium supplied from the Helium 1 and Helium 2 plants in Ras Laffan Industrial
City accounts for approximately 2,000 container loads per year of liquid helium. With
annual world helium demand at roughly 6 billion cubic feet and each container load
equivalent to roughly 950,000 cubic feet, the Qatar supply accounts for about 32%
of worldwide demand,

The loss of Qatari helium from world markets for an extended period would
plunge world helium markets into a severe shortage.
When spare capacity is considered, the Qatar supply accounts for around 28% of
worldwide helium capacity
