Territory gas, its significance to Australia and its emergence as the Northern Territory’s key future economic driver will be front and centre at a conference of leading energy explorers and producers in Brisbane this week.
Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro will be a keynote panellist at the conference.
Mrs Finocchiaro will be a panellist on the Seismic Shifts: Gas, Exploration and the Economy panel, alongside Sue McCarrey (CEO, National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority), Senator Susan McDonald, Andrew Richards (CEO, Energy Users Association of Australia), and Darren Stevenson (CEO, Senex Energy).
Deputy Chief Minister Gerard Maley will also attend the 2025 Australian Energy Producers Conference and Exhibition.
Ms Finocchiaro said the event was a major opportunity to meet with key stakeholders to help secure long-term opportunities for the Territory.
“Deputy Chief Minister Gerard Maley and I will be travelling to the event, and this is an exciting opportunity to showcase the Northern Territory’s immense potential and critical role in securing Australia’s energy future,” Mrs Finocchiaro said.
“We have committed to rebuilding the Territory’s economy which is exactly what we’re doing.”
As part of the conference, Mr Maley will host the NT Government’s Breakfast with the Beetaloo.
Mrs Finocchiaro said the breakfast would bring together national stakeholders to highlight the Territory’s strategic advantages in energy production.
Mr Maley said he was looking forward to meeting leading energy experts, producers, researchers, suppliers, and industry leaders from across Australia and around the world.
“This is an opportunity to highlight the NT’s abundant resources, strong regulatory framework, and a government which backs responsible development,” he said.
“We are uniquely positioned to help solve the east coast energy crisis and drive national energy security, with the Beetaloo Sub-basin estimated to hold enough gas to meet Australia’s energy needs for the next 200 years.
“The Finocchiaro CLP Government is providing the support and investment certainty industry needs to act with confidence.
“Our message is simple: the Territory is open for business.”
The event will bring together key players including Santos, the Australian Energy Producers Association, the Menzies Research Centre, and representatives from more than 120 innovative companies.
