The Beetaloo Sub-basin in the Northern Territory of Australia is widely regarded by geologists and energy analysts as a world-class shale gas resource play, estimated to contain massive accumulations. Independent resource assessments and government evaluations indicate that the basin holds up to hundreds of trillions of cubic feet (Tcf) of gas-in-place, with prospective recoverable dry gas volumes estimated to span anywhere from 70 Tcf to well over 100 Tcf depending on the specific geological strata and extraction technologies utilized.
