The Shute Creek Gas Plant, owned and operated by ExxonMobil, is the largest gas processing facility in the Labarge Gas Fields of southwestern Wyoming. On one corner of the plant is the largest helium plant in the country, when it is operating. The plant is capable of producing as much as 1.4 billion cubic feet per year of grade A (99.99% pure) liquefied helium from natural gas collected processed at the site. This is close to a quarter of the six billion cubic feet per year consumed in the world annually. The plant opens and closes based on production problems and market demands. It closed in 2011, but was back online in 2017.
