Icon Energy announced that Icon and Shantou SinoEnergy of China, have agreed to extend the completion date for conditions precedent in the Gas Sales Agreement signed by both parties in March 2011.
The new date for completion of “Conditions Precedent” as detailed below is, on or before 30 June 2014.
Conditions Precedent
The LNG Sales Agreement includes the following conditions precedent with amended dates:
(a) In favour of Shantou SinoEnergy (as the Buyer of LNG):
(b) In favour of Icon Energy (as the Seller):
The successful extension of the Shantou SinoEnergy Gas Sales Agreement allows Icon Energy to fully investigate a number of gas supply options in Australia.
The recent news that Halifax-1, the shale gas well in ATP 855P, has intersected over 1,300 metres of overpressured gas saturated sands and shales is a very exciting prospect for Icon Energy. The Hydraulic Stimulation of Halifax-1 will begin within days followed by flow testing in early 2013.
Mr Ray James Managing Director Icon Energy said, “Shale Gas has the potential to transform the Australian gas market especially as a supply source for LNG and we are now rapidly building an understanding across the Nappamerri Trough of the size of this potentially game changing gas resource”.
