Galilee Energy Limited (ASX:GLL) (“Galilee”) is pleased to advise that it has entered into a Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) with Alinta Energy to collaborate on domestic gas supply opportunities from the Glenaras Gas Project.

Managing Director Peter Lansom said Galilee is delighted to have entered into the HoA with a customer such as Alinta Energy who have a strong Queensland presence and who support the powering of homes, manufacturing and jobs.

“Galilee is committed to working with potential customers to supply natural gas that will help to support the gas-led recovery and assist in the creation of sustainable employment for Queenslanders.

This agreement with Alinta Energy follows both the Queensland and Federal Government’s policy to support the new supply of natural gas into the domestic market and I’m proud that Galilee has the opportunity to help support the supply of natural gas for homes, local manufacturing and to boost regional investment.

This HoA with Alinta Energy is a crucial step towards Galilee becoming a material supplier of gas to the east coast market and provides us with another commercialisation option in addition to those existing options outlined below,” Mr Lansom said.

Australian East Coast Dynamics

Structurally short gas market – increasing supply deficits requiring new gas developments

  • East coast supply fundamentals remain tight – nothing has emerged to change that.

  • Import LNG and natural gas piped from WA/NT will be more expensive gas.

  • Given the existing challenges in NSW and Victoria, only Queensland natural gas is likely to solve the problem.

  • Reserves are not being replaced via new exploration and appraisal drilling.

  • The Australian Government recognises that natural gas is critical in supporting Australian manufacturing and jobs.
