Press Release Summary = South Korea is interested in buying LNG (Liquefied Natural
Gas) from the Browse Basin of Australia, as the fourth largest economy of Asia is
competing with India and China for the supplies of energy.

Press Release Body = Expressing its interest to Australia regarding the supplies of
LNG from Browse & the two other nations, South Korea has given its consent to
increase co-operation on the project. The Ministry of Commerce, Energy and Industry
of Korea made this declaration on 8 December 2006.

Korea is contesting with India and China for LNG, which is a cleaner and environment
friendly alternative to crude oil and coal. Korea wants to reduce its reliance on
crude oil since fuel prices increased a record high of US$ 78.40 per barrel in NY in
2006.

As per a Research Analyst’s view at RNCOS, who has recently researched a
report on “Market Research on Asian LNG Market (2007)”, South Korea
would face stiff competition for the supplies of LNG. There’s strong growth in
the demand of energy in India and China. Shrinking reserves in North America & North
Sea, and increasing demand has spurred both planned and actual imports of LNG.
