Beach Energy said Australia’s plan to force gas producers to keep part of their output at home has made the company a more attractive acquisition target.
A$2.6 billion Beach sells all of its oil and gas domestically, giving it a portfolio that could appeal to east-coast producers more exposed to export markets, CEO Brett Woods said.
The company’s pitch hinges on the policy shift reshaping valuations in Australia’s gas sector, with domestic supply now potentially carrying more strategic value for buyers.

With a new gas law making it a prime target, who will be the first to make a bid for Beach Energy?
