3 Offshore oil and gas Deep water harbour Marine Supply Base Common User Area East Arm Logistics Precinct International port Trans continental railway National highway International airport Petroleum supply and service centre North Australian Centre for Oil & Gas at CDU

4 Onshore minerals, oil and gas Existing and pending mines Oil and gas exploration 40% covered by granted exploration licences 47% covered by new applications

5 Adding value to hydrocarbons Existing LNG supplies are 100% contracted to export markets The potentially large quantities of onshore gas & liquids offers opportunities for adding value to new supplies; e.g. Industrial gases and chemicals Fertilisers Plastics and polymers Condensate Mini-LNG &liquid petroleum gas (LPG) Development will require close partnerships with proponents of new projects to guarantee supply & align business strategies

6 Export infrastructure & services Increasing export volumes will require new investment in; Capacity e.g. ports, rail & road infrastructure, rolling stock, pipelines, cold chains, processing & refining capacity Skills e.g. exploration, supply chain management, project developers, skills in growing new offshore markets & partnerships Services e.g. trading skills, risk management expertise, quality assurance and accreditation, specialist engineering knowledge
