Tamboran finalizes checkerboard of Beetaloo blocks, reports $15M acreage sale

Tamboran and Daly Waters Energy, LP have signed a binding agreement to finalize the checkerboard of the joint acreage position across EPs 76, 98 and 117. In conjunction with the checkerboard, Tamboran and DWE have entered into a binding agreement whereby DWE will acquire a non-operating and non-controlling interest in 100,000 acres within two areas for a consideration of $15M. The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent and regulatory approvals. On completion, Tamboran will have retained approximately 1.9 million net prospective, development-ready acres across the Beetaloo Basin. Tamboran has reserved 406,693 gross acres as its Phase 2 Development Area, located immediately north of the Pilot Area, where Tamboran plans to focus development on supplying gas into Australia’s East Coast domestic gas market. On completion of the sale to DWE, Tamboran is expected to hold 236,370 net acres over the Phase 2 Development Area, with DWE and Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited holding the remaining interest. Tamboran has engaged RBC Capital Markets to commence a formal farm-down of the Phase 2 Development Area. The formal process will commence on release of the IP30 flow test from the Shenandoah South 2H sidetrack well, planned for June 2025. DWE will have participation rights to any transaction on the same terms. Tamboran will hold 77.5% operating interest in the remaining half of the ex-EP 76, 98 and 117 acreage positions following the completion of the checkboard process, with Falcon holding the remaining 22.5% interest.
