Empire Energy Investment Opportunity
Export Domestic
McArthur Basin - Gas Commercialisation
LNG processing infrastructure available well beyond current gas supply
Strong Gas Demand
•
Massive buildout of East Coast LNG has created substantial domestic gas shortfall
•
LNG plant expansions could double installed capacity
•
Rapidly increasing Asian demand for LNG with strong prices

PIPELINE
Pipeline Infrastructure
There is already a pipeline in place going directly through Empire's EP187 tenement which allows
for near-term commercialisation. Rights of way in place to build new, larger pipeline alongside
existing pipeline.
A 1.0 Bcf/d pipeline to Darwin would cost $1.5b, and could be expanded to 2 to 3 Bcf/d with
compression. This cost could be borne by pipeline operators upon reserve certification by Santos /
Origin / Pangaea / Empire
Jemena has publicly stated that following lifting of the NT Fracking Moratorium it will increase its
$800m investment in the Northern Gas Pipeline by up to $4bn to increase installed capacity from
90 Tj/day to 700 Tj / day¹
"Santos is focused on further exploring and appraising the McArthur Basin in the NT, a multi-TCF
prospective resource position analogous to US shale plays. Santos' focus for this region is to
support Darwin LNG backfill, expand our acreage footprint and explore and appraise the McArthur
Basin."2
