Big Sky Industrial Targets Spring 2027 Helium Production

Big Sky Industrial Inc. is targeting first production in spring 2027, with helium sales planned from the start as it advances work at its Montana project.

Ryan Smith, the company's president, CEO and director, said, “The field side of Phase 1 is now built.” Field gathering and injection lines are complete, wells are ready for tie-in, and plant fabrication is underway.

Commissioning and Montana winter weather may affect the schedule. Approval for measurement, reporting and verification would affect when the project can monetize Section 45Q credits, but not the planned start of helium sales.
