IPL reported first half profits yesterday. Ghastly gas costs flattened returns from its Gibson Island Qld plant.
Today's AFR (paywalled): "Government heat on gas giants not enough: Incitec"
The juice:
Incitec’s main strategy to secure gas for Gibson Island beyond 2019 is through a memorandum of understanding with Central Petroleum, which was recently awarded the Queensland acreage that is quarantined for domestic gas customers.
Incitec is expected to contribute almost $20 million towards appraising the acreage, under a partnership that Ms Johns said could give the company access to gas below market prices.
‘‘We are working with Central to do a joint venture that potentially could give it to us on more of a cost basis,’’ she said. ‘‘The geology is amongst the least risky geology, you never say never, but this is fairly certain that there is gas here.’’

Ash here.
The grant was to CTP alone. From the last CTP Quarterly report:
"On 1 March 2018 the Honourable Dr Anthony Lynham MP announced that Central’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Central Petroleum Eastern Pty Ltd, was the preferred bidder for Queensland acreage PLR201718-1-1 (ATPA 2031)."
CTP has a very motivated partner with ready cash wanting the shortest route to commercialisation that is humanly possible. Government is anxious to sustain Gibson Island, a key manufacturing asset destined to close on gas costs, and granted this attractive acreage on good terms. Both want intense exploration to begin immediately.
This is RC at his finest - using other people's money. Long-term holders will know of the established CTP-IPL relationship. (no, RC doesn't leap buildings with a single bound - he needs a short run-up first)
Please consider the consequences for the CTP share price.
