Currently the Australian business focuses on drilling services to the Eastern seaboard coal mining industry by providing surface to inseam drilling services as well as exploration drilling projects. We are a leading provider of exploration, production and directional drilling services to some of the world’s largest coal miners.
AJ Lucas has successfully proven up the potential for Oil and Gas development of several tenements in Eastern Australia. More recently, our investment in UK Shale represents our largest and most important asset, which we believe has the potential to become a world class energy asset.
