Investor Presentation summary
25 Jun, 2026Market overview and industry trends
US unconventional oil production has surged since 2010, with shale accounting for 81% of lower 48 onshore output in 2024.
Permian, Eagle Ford, and Bakken dominate, but Eagle Ford and Bakken are mature with declining or plateaued production.
Permian growth has plateaued, and consolidation has driven up acquisition costs for new drilling locations.
Well performance in established plays is decreasing, with higher breakeven costs and operational challenges.
Industry is shifting focus to earlier-stage and previously overlooked plays due to inventory constraints.
Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (TMS) background and opportunity
TMS is a Cretaceous marine shale in Louisiana/Mississippi, similar in age to Eagle Ford, with ~14 million acres.
Australis holds ~47,500 net acres in the TMS Core, with 160 net future well locations and a unique land database.
TMS Core has been delineated through production and subsurface analysis, showing Tier 1 oil productivity.
The play benefits from existing infrastructure, premium crude pricing, low royalties, and supportive regulation.
TMS Core is substantially de-risked, with validated models, historical data, and proven well designs.
Well performance, economics, and scalability
Updated type curve shows EUR of 538 Mbbls per well, with 75 bbls/ft and 95% oil content.
Base case well cost is $10.4M, with IRR of 33% at $65/bbl WTI; development case reduces cost to $9.6M and IRR to 48%.
Payout periods are 23 months (base) and 17 months (development), with significant upside from longer laterals and cost reductions.
TMS wells achieve premium pricing to WTI and benefit from low transportation and production costs.
Australis controls the largest contiguous lease position in the TMS Core, with potential to expand by 100,000 acres.
