Requests Less Than Its Apportioned 

Amount?

calculated apportioned volume will 

receive the amount of its request and

reapportioned in accordance with part

3.08 Do You Have a Hypothetical 

Example of How a Non-Allocated Sale 

Would Be Conducted? 

525 MMcf available for total sale with 

10 percent available for Non-Allocated

*All volumes in MMcf. 

In this example, three companies 

submit a request and there is a carryover 

amount from one of the Crude Helium 

Refiners in the Allocated Sale that is 

considered as a separate request. Each 

bidder would be apportioned 13,125 

Mcf, (i.e., 52,500 Mcf of Non-Allocated 

Conservation Helium 4 ÷bidders = 

13,250 Mcf per bidder). 

After the initial allocation, Companies 

E and F have received all the helium 

they requested. However, 7,500 Mcf is 

deemed excess in the first iteration of 

the Non-Allocated Sale and reallocated 

to the two remaining bidders. With the 

reallocation, Refiner C and Company D 

each receives an additional 3,750 Mcf. 

No more helium is available, Refiner C 

and Company D do not receive all that 

they requested, and the sale is complete. 

All percentages used in the calculation 

will be rounded to the nearest 1⁄10M of 

1 percent. All volumes calculated will 

be rounded to the nearest 1 Mcf.
