Helium is cryogenically distilled from natural gas.

There are only a very few wells in world that contain Helium. You cannot get if from almost all wells.

There are loads of wells that produce small amounts of helium. Mostly in New Mexico. The problem is the economics of separating and capturing it. This process is spreading, e.g., to Kansas and Oklahoma, as the price increases.

Of course, if you want loads of helium, just build a space elevator.
