Helium prices have risen steadily over the last decade. In the US, benchmark helium prices have risen this year $84 per million cubic feet, up nearly 70 per cent from the $49.5 per mcf in 2000, according to the US Bureau of Land Management.
过去10年,氦气价格一直稳步上涨。美国土地管理局(US Bureau of Land Management)的数据显示,在美国,基准的氦气价格今年涨至每千立方英尺(MCF) 84美元,较2000年的49.5美元高出近70%。
Industry executives believe that prices would need to increase significantly more to spur the development of more supplies, probably through expensive technologies for extraction of the gas.
行业高管认为,氦气价格需要进一步大幅上涨,才能刺激氦气供应的开发——很可能通过成本高昂的天然气开采技术实现。
Japanese importers are struggling to adjust. Two weeks ago Saitama-based distributor Daito Gas said it could take no more orders for helium after shipments came to a halt.
日本进口商很难适应现在的情况。两周前,总部位于埼玉的分销商Daito Gas表示,由于供货暂停,该公司无法再接受更多的氦气订单。
Last week Oriental Land, operator of the Disney resort east of Tokyo, suspended sales of helium-filled balloons for the first time.
上周,东京东部迪士尼度假区的运营商东方乐园(Oriental Land)首次暂停了氦气球的销售。
