This is the 29th interim report of the ÌÇÐÄÔ´´â€™s inquiry into gas supply arrangements in Australia. The ÌÇÐÄÔ´´ continues its focus on the operation of the east coast gas market.
This report provides:
- the latest outlooks on short-term supply and prices for gas under long-term contracts
- updates on investment in long-term gas supply and upstream concentration in the east coast market, and on the Queensland LNG producers’ positions
- an overview of gas storage operations on the east coast, including analysis on the availability and utilisation of storage facilities, and competition between storage facilities and close substitutes.
The report also provides the ÌÇÐÄÔ´´â€™s finalised guidance on retailer selling practices.
The publications were amended on 21 July 2026 to update 'Chart 2.4: Producers’ market share of 2P reserves and 2C resources', and 'Chart 2.5: Change in east coast reserves and resources concentration from 2022 and 2026'. Previously Imperial Oil and Gas’s share of 2C resources were included in Esso/Exxon’s share of 2C resources. The relevant report charts, and chart data pack have been updated. These changes do not affect the report’s key findings.
