LNG producers are averse to supplying additional volumes to the domgas market since the LNG export price is often higher

Domgas suppliers have the advantage of lower costs of extraction and therefore higher margins, which leaves them in a strong long term position to supply the gas demand in WA

Supply dynamics Off-shore supply to WA domgas market uncertain

WA DOMGAS PRODUCERS WILL BENEFIT FROM SUPPLY SOURCE TRANSITION

WA domgas market forecast is for sufficient supply to meet demand beyond 2020

Nearly 60% of forecast domgas supply capacity from facilities that have the discretion to produce domgas or export LNG.

Additional LNG exports are expected to balance the WA domgas market (historical reality)

Demand dynamics

WA domgas market is well diversified with strong demand; this provides Empire with the opportunity to market uncontracted gas

Strong competitive position

WA domgas market is transitioning to new supply sources and opportunities are arising for Empire

New WA domgas supply is priced significantly higher than historical supply, due to cost base

WA domgas supply capacity, at high prices, remains uncommitted.

EMPIRE’S STRONG COMPETITIVE POSITION IS SUPPORTED BY FAVOURABLE LONG TERM WA DOMGAS MARKET
