Key terms of the Gas Sales option agreement


  • CSBP granted an option for the supply of 80 to 100PJ of gas (Strike share), to be delivered at a maximum of 25 TJ/d from commencement of production from West Erregulla.
  • CSBP will pay an option fee to Strike of AUS $5 million by 30 May 2019.
  • The option is conditional on a successful result at the West Erregulla- 2 well (WE-2) and Strike taking FID on a commercial project.
  • Option will lapse 7.5 years after completion of WE-2 if the opportunity to exercise has not been taken.
  • If the WE-2 well is unsuccessful Strike will be required to refund 50% of the option fee in cash or shares at Strike’s election.
  • The AUS $5 million option fee will be used as operating capital for the delivery of WE-2, designed to delineate the major conventional gas target in the Kingia- High Cliff sandstones. WE-2 is expected to be completed as a future producer due to the high chance of success of the well encountering commercially recoverable hydrocarbons.
