Details of the agreement

The arrangement allows for the production and sale of appraisal gas from Exploration Permits 98 and 117. This production is planned to come from the Shenandoah South Pilot Project, a development aimed at progressing the region’s energy capabilities. The Beetaloo Joint Venture will now direct its efforts towards obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals for sustained production in the future.

Commitment to regional supply

Under an initial supply commitment, the Beetaloo Joint Venture has agreed to deliver gas to the Northern Territory Government over an extended period. This supply is expected to bolster energy security in a region where gas-fired generation is a primary source of power. Subject to environmental conditions and standard stakeholder approvals, the first delivery from the Shenandoah South Pilot Project is anticipated within the next operational phase.

Collaboration with Native Title Holders

The agreement reflects a cooperative approach between Tamboran Resources Corporation and Native Title Holders, ensuring the development of the Beetaloo Basin aligns with community interests. This collaboration includes a mix of financial and non-financial benefits designed to enhance local economic participation and skills development.

Local economic and social outcomes

Tamboran Resources Corporation has outlined programs that aim to generate employment, provide training, and create contracting opportunities for Indigenous communities. The company has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the Beetaloo Basin’s growth delivers tangible benefits, such as business development and job creation, for the Northern Territory’s regional population.

Focus on sustainable development

By aligning project execution with community engagement, the company is reinforcing its role in shaping an energy framework that supports both local economic growth and environmental stewardship. Continued collaboration with the Northern Land Council is expected to guide the project’s progress in a way that respects cultural heritage while advancing the Northern Territory’s energy infrastructure.
