Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Amplitude Energy Limited is an Australia-based upstream oil and gas company focused on the exploration, development, production, and sale of conventional hydrocarbons. The company operates primarily within the energy and natural resources industries, with a strategic emphasis on offshore gas development and onshore oil production. Its core revenue is generated from the sale of natural gas and crude oil to domestic Australian markets, including long-term gas supply contracts and spot market sales.
The company’s primary assets are located in the Gippsland Basin offshore Victoria and the Cooper Basin in South Australia and Queensland. Amplitude Energy positions itself as a domestic energy supplier supporting Australia’s east coast gas market, with strategic advantages stemming from operated infrastructure, established production assets, and proximity to end markets. The company traces its origins to Cooper Energy Limited, which was founded in 2001 and rebranded as Amplitude Energy Limited in 2023 to reflect its broader asset base and growth ambitions following the development of major offshore gas projects.
Business Operations
Amplitude Energy operates through two primary business segments: Offshore Gas Operations and Onshore Oil Production. The offshore segment is anchored by the Sole Gas Project, a producing conventional gas field in the Gippsland Basin, which supplies gas to southeastern Australia via existing pipeline infrastructure. Revenue from this segment is primarily driven by long-term gas sales agreements with Australian energy retailers and industrial customers.
The onshore oil segment is focused on operated and non-operated interests in the Cooper Basin, where the company produces crude oil and associated liquids. Amplitude Energy controls and operates key production assets, wells, and processing facilities, while also participating in joint ventures with other basin operators. Its operations are entirely Australia-focused, and the company does not currently report material international production outside the country.
Strategic Position & Investments
Amplitude Energy’s strategic direction centers on maximizing cash flow from existing production assets while pursuing low-risk growth through near-field exploration, incremental development drilling, and infrastructure optimization. The company has invested significantly in the development and ramp-up of the Sole Gas Project, which represents a cornerstone asset underpinning medium-term revenue stability.
In addition to organic growth, the company has selectively pursued acquisitions and asset rationalization to strengthen its portfolio, including consolidation of interests in the Gippsland Basin and optimization of its Cooper Basin oil assets. Amplitude Energy has publicly identified conventional gas supply, energy security, and disciplined capital allocation as strategic priorities, while monitoring emerging opportunities related to gas-led energy transition initiatives. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding material investments outside conventional oil and gas.
Geographic Footprint
Amplitude Energy’s operations are concentrated entirely within Australia, with its corporate headquarters located in Melbourne, Victoria. The company’s most significant offshore presence is in the Gippsland Basin off the coast of Victoria, a long-established hydrocarbon province with existing infrastructure and proximity to major gas demand centers.
Onshore operations are situated in the Cooper Basin, spanning South Australia and Queensland, where the company maintains producing oil fields and development acreage. Amplitude Energy does not report active exploration or production assets outside Australia, and its international exposure is limited to indirect market dynamics rather than physical operations or investments.
Leadership & Governance
Amplitude Energy is led by an executive team with experience in upstream oil and gas development, project execution, and Australian energy markets. The leadership emphasizes operational reliability, capital discipline, and safety, with a strategic vision focused on delivering domestic energy supply while generating shareholder returns.

- Jane Norman – Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director
- Travis Beinke – Chief Financial Officer
- Glen Walker – Chief Operating Officer

The company operates under an independent board structure consistent with Australian Securities Exchange governance standards, with oversight informed by risk management, sustainability, and long-term asset stewardship principles.
