An update from New Zealand Oil & Gas Limited ( (AU:ECH) ) is now available.

Central Petroleum Limited and its joint venture partners have signed a binding Letter of Intent with the Northern Territory’s Power and Water Corporation to initiate an accelerated drilling program and establish long-term gas supply agreements from the Mereenie and Palm Valley fields. The agreement aims to increase gas supply significantly, enhancing energy security in the Northern Territory by mid-2026, with the potential to meet over 20% of the region’s gas demand. This initiative not only supports the drilling program but also secures a reliable income stream for Central Petroleum, backed by government agreements, without exposure to the Northern Gas Pipeline operations.
