    This extracr from WCL A/R released today.
    I was thinking that it exactly applies to the uncommitted ICN resources outside the Stanwell permits. I suspect it is only a matter of time before ICN certifies reserves in the non-Stanwell blocks.
    We may well have coys fighting over gas contracts in near term.
    ********************
    Markets
    Global attention has turned to securing
    energy resources for the future and the
    supply of clean energy has grown
    increasingly important in today’s carbon
    conscious world. WestSide remains alert to
    the potential for marketing its reserves to
    liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects
    and the potential earnings upside from
    international export pricing. While the
    large CSG producers focus on export LNG
    markets, we expect significant marketing
    opportunities to be presented within the
    domestic gas market. We believe that gas
    will become increasingly attractive once an
    emissions trading scheme takes effect.

    For example, Australia’s diesel
    consumption is 655 petajoules (PJ) gas
    equivalent (IEA Report, 2009) and the east
    coast market currently consumes the
    diesel equivalent of approximately
    490 PJ of gas. Using gas as a transport fuel
    substitute for diesel alone would generate
    demand equivalent to approximately 260
    PJ of energy a year, presenting a significant
    domestic downstream opportunity for
    companies like WestSide.

    WestSide is in the advantageous position
    of being able to quickly capitalise on
    opportunities presented by the dynamic
    CSG industry. Our uncontracted gas
    reserves enable the Company to pursue
    a range of marketing opportunities to
    generate cash flow.
