Brisbane-based Icon added that depending on oil prices, the export value of the agreement was worth between A$23 billion ($21.3 billion) and A$32 billion. It did not say when the deal would commence.
Icon could not immediately be reached for comment and the firm's website showed that it has not yet begun regular production from its coal-seam gas tenements in Australia.
Icon said it plans to supply the gas from its current tenements in South Australia and Queensland states, arrangements with existing joint venture partners and securing more tenements.
