Backed by a successful capital raise, Empire Energy Group Ltd. (ASX:EEG) is accelerating towards first gas production in early 2025. The company has secured funding for its pilot project in the Greater McArthur Basin, positioning itself as a frontrunner in Australia’s promising gas development region. With robust financial support, Empire Energy is poised to commence developmental drilling in August, paving the way for its Carpentaria Pilot Project’s fruition and potentially bridging the expected east coast gas supply shortfall by 2030.
