Company Overview

Empire Energy Group is an oil and gas exploration and development Company focused on onshore long-life oil and gas fields in the USA. The Company continues to build its oil and gas portfolio of assets. In March 2011 the Company changed its name from Imperial Corporation Limited to Empire Energy Group Limited to align itself with its major operating subsidiary in the USA.

Then from 2007 to 2011 the Company has completed approximately US$120 million in oil and gas transactions.

In early 2010 Empire Energy Group identified the McArthur Basin as having attractive potential for hydrocarbon bearing black shales, and has been successful in securing 7 licence applications in the McArthur Basin, Northern Territory.
