key highlights
indonesia – duyung psc (mako gas field, 8.5% interest)
june 2024: jv partners signed a domestic gas sales agreement (gsa) with pgn.
indonesian government later directed that all mako gas be allocated to the domestic market, purchased by pln epi (subsidiary of the state-owned utility pln persero).
july 2025: conrad (operator) signed a binding gsa with pln epi.
previous gsas with pgn and sembcorp were revoked.
gas pricing linked to indonesian crude price (icp), equivalent to lng export pricing.
these changes are expected to support a farm-out process and lead to a final investment decision (fid).
australia – wilson river project (8.5% interest)
option acquired to participate in an oil prospect in the cooper basin, queensland.
march 2025: wilson river-1 well spudded, testing suggested water rather than oil → well plugged and abandoned.
usa – sacramento basin (25–30% interest)

chairman’s statement
deeply saddened by the death of ceo tom kelly in a tragic accident.
acknowledged frustrations with delays, but recent developments in indonesia (domestic market allocation and gsa with pln) could accelerate commercialisation of mako.
renewed farm-out interest in mako; empyrean hopes to conclude this process in 2025.
despite wilson river setback, company continues to explore opportunities while conserving cash.
ongoing shareholder support is appreciated, with optimism that mako progress will help rebuild value.

✅ overall summary:
empyrean had a challenging year marked by delays, fundraising, and a disappointing drilling result in australia. however, the indonesian government’s policy shift and the binding domestic gsa with pln are positive steps toward commercialising the mako gas field. the company is focused on securing a farm-out deal in 2025 to unlock value.
