Australian energy exploration hits 10-year high as Asian gas demand surges
Australian energy exploration spending reached a 10-year high of A$471 million in the March quarter, driven by rising Asian gas demand, technological advances, and an improved investment climate. The surge in activity follows years of sluggish spending and is linked to the urgency to develop supply amid the Iran war.
