Globaltec unit begins drilling at Indonesia's first commercial coalbed methane project
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Globaltec said the drilling marks the start of Indonesia's first commercial coalbed methane (CBM) project.
The well is located in the Tanjung Enim Production Sharing Contract's Plan of Development 1 (POD 1) area and targets initial gas sales of one million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd).
"This milestone underscores NuEnergy's commitment to cleaner energy and validates the commercial viability of its coalbed methane assets," the company said.
The POD 1 area, covering 33 square kilometres, holds certified reserves of 164.89 billion standard cubic feet and has a planned production capacity of 25 mmscfd.
It is also backed by a heads of agreement with Indonesia's largest gas utility, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk, a subsidiary of Pertamina.
Globaltec said the successful spudding of the well lays the foundation for further development and commercial delivery from its South Sumatra CBM assets.
At press time, shares of Globaltec were trading at 47 sen, up 4.44 per cent from the previous close of 45 sen, valuing the company at RM126.49 million.
The stock hit a two-year low of 42.5 sen on April 9 and has been trading between 46 sen and 49 sen since the start of the year.

Cricket-Australia boss says tests could send nations 'bankrupt'

Greenberg, who replaced Nick Hockley as CEO in March, said the future of test cricket may involve fewer nations and more investment in marquee series like the Ashes. "I don't think everyone in world cricket needs to aspire to play test cricket, and that might be OK," Greenberg told reporters on Wednesday, marking 100 days before Australia host England in the Ashes. "We're literally trying to send countries bankrupt if we force them to try to play test cricket." Greenberg, the former head of the sport's players' union, said cricket boards needed to prioritise meaningful contests over volume. "Scarcity in test cricket is our friend, not our foe," he said. "We need to make sure we invest in the right spaces to play test cricket where it means something and has jeopardy. "That's why the Ashes will be as enormous and profitable as it is — because it means something." While the five-test Ashes series starting in Perth in late-November has seen record demand for tickets, the longest format is under siege from T20 cricket. Mushrooming T20 franchise leagues offering lucrative player contracts are crowding out the global calendar and have prompted a slew of top players to give up tests and one-day internationals. Though Australia maintains a bumper schedule of tests every home summer, it was also one of the earlier movers in T20, with the Big Bash League (BBL) set for its 15th season in December. CA has resisted allowing private investment in BBL teams but Greenberg signalled the policy could be coming to an end following a review by Boston Consulting Group. "It would be completely naive of us sitting here in Australia to not explore (privatisation)," he said. "I'm not suggesting there's been a decision made, and ultimately it won't just be my decision or Cricket Australia's decision. "It will be the whole of leadership of Australian cricket and it has to be beneficial for everyone." (Reporting by Ian Ransom in Melbourne; Editing by Christian Radnedge)

Fortnite developer claims win against Apple and Google
Both Apple and Google kicked Fortnite off their respective app platforms in 2020, after the game designed an in-app payments system that cut the tech giants out of the loop. — Photo by Joshua Hoehne on Unsplash SYDNEY: An Australian court has found Apple and Google misused their market power in a dispute with the maker of wildly popular video game Fortnite. Both Apple and Google kicked Fortnite off their respective app platforms in 2020, after the game designed an in-app payments system that cut the tech giants out of the loop. Developer Epic Games retaliated by launching legal action against the tech giants in a string of courtrooms around the world. Australia's Federal Court this week found the tech firms' app-store dominance reduced competition, likely forcing game developers to pay higher commission fees. "This is a WIN for developers and consumers in Australia!" Epic Games said in a statement Tuesday. Justice Jonathan Beach however rejected Epic Games' claims that Apple and Google engaged in unconscionable conduct. A Google spokesperson said the company disagreed with some of the court's findings and would "review the full decision when we receive it and assess our next steps". Australian lawyers have lodged a class action suit seeking compensation from Apple and Google on behalf of game users and developers. "The judgement is a turning point," said Kimi Nishimura from Maurice Blackburn Lawyers. "It sends a clear message that even the most powerful corporations must play by the rules and respect the rights of consumers and developers alike." Fortnite is one of the most popular video games in the world, laying claim to hundreds of millions of registered players. – AFP
