Senex Energy (SXY) has expanded its natural gas sales agreement with Orora (ORA), agreeing to supply 13.2 petajoules of natural gas from Project Atlas.
In May 2019 Senex announced a two-year gas sale agreement with Orora for supply of 3.3 petajoules (PJ) of natural gas from January 1, 2020.
Both companies have now agreed to expand the agreement, with Senex to supply a further 9.9 PJ of natural gas from Project Atlas over a six year period from 2022 to 2027.
This now brings the total contracted volume to 13.2 PJ.
Gas will be supplied at the Wallumbilla Gas Hub in Queensland at a price calculated annually by consumer price index.
Senex Managing Director and CEO Ian Davies said the company is proud the agreement got extended.
“This long-term agreement greatly strengthens our partnership with Orora and expansion of the gas sales agreement is a further seal of approval for Project Atlas as we continue to de-risk the asset’s future revenue stream,” Ian commented.
“Senex has contracted a significant portion of expected production from Project Atlas for 2020 and 2021, and more contracts continue to be negotiated,” he added.
Project Atlas is the Queensland Government’s first domestic gas acreage tender, an innovative initiative to increase supply of gas and help provide energy security for businesses and households on Australia’s east coast.
Senex has ended the day 4.48 per cent in the green with shares trading for 35 cents apiece in a $487.7 million market cap.
