Australia’s Shale Gas Boom Starts Here

Empire Energy Group Limited (“Empire”) looks to emulate the unconventional shale gas boom in Australia that transformed the US energy landscape. Empire holds acreage in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, within the Greater McArthur Basin in the Northern Territory. That acreage holds stacked Velkerri Formation shales that Empire is currently appraising and has delineated 1.6 TCF (2C) Contingent Resources and 30 TCF (2U) of Prospective Resources. The journey of exploration to appraisal will be discussed in the talk.
