(ASX:EGO) has advised it has increased average daily production to 9.4 T/J of gas per day to bring the Red Gully Processing facility to full capacity.

The gas sales are at current market rates and are in addition to Empire’s existing tranche 2 contract with Alcoa.
The company says the sale of uncontracted gas volumes is an important component of delivering Empire’s growth strategy.
