Investor Presentation summary
23 Sep, 2025Strategic position and market context
Holds large 2P and 2C gas reserves and resources near key transmission infrastructure and major domestic/export customers, positioning for strong market access as southern state gas production declines and demand rises.
Australian east coast faces a forecast gas shortfall of 2,179 PJ between 2026 and 2036, with annual deficits expected to reach 300 PJ by the mid-2030s.
Queensland is increasingly critical for east coast gas supply as pipeline constraints and declining southern production intensify market strain.
Project portfolio and development status
Mahalo Gas Hub comprises multiple permits with net 2P + 2C of 427 PJ and 3P + 3C of 823 PJ, including Mahalo JV (57.14% interest), Mahalo North, and Mahalo East (both 100% owned).
Mahalo JV is development-ready with key environmental and upstream approvals, FEED underway, and pipeline connection to QGP and GLNG progressing.
Mahalo North and Mahalo East have certified 2P reserves of 43 PJ and 52 PJ, respectively, with Mahalo East pilot drilling and production tests completed.
Additional upside potential from 3P reserves and further exploration in Mahalo Far East and extensions.
Commercial and operational highlights
Four successful commercial pilot areas demonstrate attractive flow rates and de-risk project economics across a wide area.
Gas is near sales specification with very low CO2, and the southern Bowen Basin offers high productivity, shallow reservoirs, and lower water production.
Quality joint venture and infrastructure partners include Santos (JV operator), Jemena (pipeline), and CleanCo (offtake), with inaugural GSA progressing.
Mahalo JV 2P reserves underpin new gas processing and pipeline infrastructure, with milestones including FEED completion, GSA execution, and FID for construction.
