SYDNEY--Chevron Corp. (CVX) said it will buy Australian shale gas assets from Beach Energy Ltd. (BPT.AU) for up to US$349 million, placing a bold bet on the potential to replicate the U.S. boom in unconventional gas output in the Outback.
Chevron, the second-biggest U.S. oil company behind ExxonMobil Corp. (XOM), said it has agreed to buy up to 60% of two blocks in central Australia's Cooper Basin covering an estimated 810,000 acres.
In a separate statement, Beach said Chevron will make an upfront cash payment and agree to fund its share of development costs to acquire 30% of the Australian company's stakes in the two permits. Chevron has also agreed an option to lift its holding up to 60% at a later date, depending on exploration results.
