GAS STATUS for EA as of 21st February 2023 153rd EATM Anastazja Sedzicka BE-EA-EC Gas Team General gas status General increase of price ~4.5% from beginning of 2023 No price change noticeable for users → exchange rate from last year 1EUR=~1CHF Rare gases and thier mixes price increase by factor 6: Xenon, Krypton Critical situation → HELIUM Situation with CF4 and R-gases → stablized CF4 → alternative supplier found for urgent needs; stock made R-gases → stock made for the next 2 years* *for consumption estimated based on info in 2022 2 21st February 2023 Anastazja Sedzicka - BE-EA-EA Gas Team Helium HELIUM 5.0 – issues : War in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia shorten big quantity of the expected product, in particular “Amur” facility in Russia Algeria sources have a reduced production BLM was stopped and is decreasing in quantities The product from Qatar (3 helium plants) does not come anymore to Europe Other customers have seen their helium deliveries already reduced Priority for this moment goes to medical applications (i.e. for cooling of MRI machines) Suppliers confirmed no avaliability of helium and increase of prices 1 bank = 157m3 He was lost end of last year due to valve left open in 888 3 21st February 2023 Anastazja Sedzicka - BE-EA-EA Gas Team Source: Macro View - Edison Investment Research (Feb 2019). Depending on the source, data varies https://qd-europe.com Helium HELIUM 5.0 : PREVESSIN 907 XCET & CEDAR: hard to estimate, but avalibale for recovery with TE AMBER: ~20l/h continuous GIFF++: small amount for chromatograph (2xmonth) NA61: 10m3/week AD Hall (B193): ~3-4 banks/month ATLAS (B3170): ~1 bank/month Other users: <1 bank/month Qantity needed: max → 11-12 banks/month; min → 2-3 banks/month Avalibale : 2 banks/month + 4 btl/month Decrease in quality does not improve the avaliability Recovery with TE Departement – in progress only 4 banks avaliable with reduced pressure of ~150bars instead of standard 300bars only two can be in operation simultainously 4 21st February 2023 Anastazja Sedzicka - BE-EA-EA Gas Team Shortage early décember if 1BK/week Consumption 2016-2022 Anastazja Sedzicka - BE-EA-EA Gas Team 5 21st February, 2023 Neon, CF4, R-gases NEON: Requested for AMBER Any additional need must be requested now - order in progress or 2 months in advance before the start of experiment – new order to be made CF4: Situation quite stable – regular delivery of 2BTL / month If more quantity
