AI: Conrad Asia Energy and Empyrean Energy are joint venture partners in the Duyung Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in Indonesia, which includes the Mako gas field. Conrad is the operator of the field, holding a 76.5% interest (expected to increase to 91.5% after a transaction with Coro Energy is completed), while Empyrean holds an 8.5% interest.
Mako Gas Field Values
The Mako gas field is a significant asset, and its key values and metrics are:
Total 2C Contingent Resources: The field is estimated to contain a gross of 376 to 413 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of 2C contingent gas resources (a "best case" estimate).
Net Attributable Resources to Empyrean: Empyrean's 8.5% interest equates to approximately 20.8 Bcf of net attributable 2C contingent resources.
Net Attributable Resources to Conrad: Conrad's current 76.5% interest (expected to increase) is associated with 192 Bcf of net attributable resources, rising to 231 Bcf after the Coro transfer.
Monetary Valuation: A specific, fixed net value is not publicly stated as it is subject to ongoing negotiations and a Final Investment Decision (FID). However, a May 2023 independent expert estimate suggested a contingent resource valuation of approximately US$266 million net to Empyrean based on a specific report, though this is an unrisked value and contingent on project progression.
