Since Dr Gold passed away very few geologists believe that the abiogenic origin theory has much credibility. I'm not surprised that helium turns up in gas fields; it is thje second most common element in the universe, after all. In fact there is apparently some debate as to why there is so little helium on Earth, but I don't know the details to be honest.
