WestSide has interests in approximately 13,000 square km of tenements with the short term goal of proving up gas reserves for marketing. The company sees considerable potential in the growing Queensland energy and industrial markets for the emerging resource of coal seam gas.

WestSide’s key objectives for the next year are:

• Proving up reserves of coal seam gas in its tenements. 
• Acquisition of interests in additional prospective tenements.
• Developing the business case to bring viable reserves into commercial production.
• Marketing the gas to downstream customers through a variety of available channels including bilateral long term contracts, short term spot supply or partnering with major project developers.
• Completing a thorough assessment of the development potential of the permit areas of our Indonesian JV partners with a goal of proving up reserves for development.
