Big Sky Industrial Inc., formerly known as U.S. Energy Corp., is a Houston-based industrial gas, carbon management, and energy company with operations centered in Montana’s Kevin Dome region. The company changed its name and ticker to Big Sky Industrial Inc. and BSIN in June 2026, reflecting a broader shift from a traditional oil-and-gas identity toward helium production, carbon management, and industrial energy assets. Its main operating footprint includes the Big Sky Carbon Hub and the Cut Bank oil field.
The company’s business is built around three main areas: helium production, carbon management, and low-decline oil production. Helium is an important industrial gas used in medical imaging, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, scientific research, and other advanced technology applications. By focusing on helium, Big Sky Industrial is trying to position itself around a resource that has strategic value beyond traditional energy markets.
Big Sky Industrial’s carbon management strategy is tied to its Montana asset base. The company has described its platform as using carbon management opportunities supported by federal Section 45Q tax credits, which are designed to encourage carbon capture and storage projects. This gives the company a second potential business line beyond selling energy or industrial gases, because it may be able to generate value from managing carbon dioxide storage or related infrastructure.
The company also continues to operate conventional oil assets, especially through the Cut Bank oil field. These oil assets are described as low-decline production, meaning they are expected to produce more steadily over time compared with higher-decline wells. This part of the business can help provide revenue while the company develops its helium and carbon management operations.
