Cue Energy has signed a supply agreement with Shell for the delivery of 0.27 petajoules (PJ) of gas over one year, effective from January 2025.

From 1 January 2025, New Zealand Oil & Gas also agreed to deliver 0.65PJ of gas to Shell, for delivery into the East Coast domestic market. The deal covers take-or-pay provisions and has a fixed price.

This deal comes at a time when the Australian competition watchdog urged the government to curb exports in the wake of an anticipated shortfall of 56PJ of gas, equivalent to approximately 10% of the demand in 2023 in the country’s east coast, reported Reuters.
