Full Summary

Equus Energy has executed a binding conditional Gas Sales Agreement (GSA) with Alcoa of Australia, marking a significant commercial milestone for the Equus Gas Project. Under the agreement, Equus will supply approximately 50 TJ/day of gas to Alcoa for a 10-year period following project start-up, representing about 182 PJ over the contract term. This agreement not only establishes Alcoa as the project's foundation domestic gas customer but also forms part of a broader Gas Sales and Funding Agreement, providing Equus with access to up to US$30 million of project funding. This funding will support the advancement of the project through Pre-FEED, FEED, and toward a Final Investment Decision (FID). The GSA is a crucial step for Equus as it progresses toward commercializing the Equus Gas Project, which has the potential to strengthen energy security and diversify gas supply sources for Western Australia.
