The oil and gas junior that stands to fill Australia’s looming gas demand gap
Lauren Bennett, CEO for Omega Oil and Gas, discusses Omega's drilling activity and potential, gas shortages and the next three years.
With looming gas shortages on the horizon for the east coast of Australia, the work that Omega Oil and Gas (ASX: OMA) is doing is all the more crucial. The oil and gas junior holds two leases in the Permian-age Surat Basin with deep gas drilling in progress.
Omega only listed on the ASX last October. The fact that two major investors - the Flannery family and Tri-Star - are involved, should be an indicator to investors of the size of the opportunity facing Omega.
Lauren Bennett, CEO for Omega, says the prospective resource of the company’s leases includes 3 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of natural gas and 233 million barrels (mmbl) of associated liquids. To put that in perspective, 3TCF could power more than 100 million homes a year.
Bennett recently joined Market Index to discuss Omega’s drilling activity and potential, Australia’s gas shortages and the big plans for the next three years.
