"Karoon has a market cap of about AUD$250 million, and it is sitting on a potential resource that has to be confirmed after the completion of drilling. We're drilling three holes in the next 14 months. These wells are about $50 million or $60 million US a well, they are very big wells," Mr. Hosking tells Wall Street Reporter. "It could turn into a multi-multi billion dollar deposit. Karoon is in a perfect position to move forward on success drilling."

$40 billion worth of LNG.
