SYDNEY--Chevron Corp. (CVX) said it will buy Australian shale
gas assets from Beach Energy Ltd. (BPT.AU) for up to US$349
million, placing a bold bet on the potential to replicate the U.S.
boom in unconventional gas output in the Outback.
Chevron, the second-biggest U.S. oil company behind ExxonMobil
Corp. (XOM), said it has agreed to buy up to 60% of two blocks in
central Australia's Cooper Basin covering an estimated 810,000
acres.
In a separate statement, Beach said Chevron will make an upfront
cash payment and agree to fund its share of development costs to
acquire 30% of the Australian company's stakes in the two permits.
Chevron has also agreed an option to lift its holding up to 60% at
a later date, depending on exploration results.
