Beach Energy Limited ( ASX: BPT ) is the biggest oil and gas producer in Australia's Cooper Basin and our country's sixth-largest overall. The finite amount of oil and gas means producers such as Beach need to keep strong balance sheets and find new deposits to fulfil their desire to increase production in the long term. With increasing production in FY14, $404 million in cash, 93MMboe in 2P reserves and capable management at the helm, Beach Energy could provide healthy exposure to this booming industry.
