Over the past 12 months, the company delivered key strategic and operational milestones, including a US$300 million capital raise and completion of critical infrastructure.

Safety and environmental performance also featured strongly, with zero serious injuries and no reportable environmental incidents. Locally, Tamboran has increased engagement with Northern Territory communities, spending over $36 million with NT businesses and supporting Indigenous suppliers.

What did Tamboran Resources management say?

Chief Executive Officer Todd Abbott said:

Twelve months ago, we set out to reach first gas in the Beetaloo Basin, and we are now delivering on that objective. Our team's performance and partnerships have positioned Tamboran to unlock this world-class resource for the region and our shareholders.

What's next for Tamboran Resources?

Looking ahead, Tamboran plans to expand capacity at the SPCF up to 100 TJ/d by mid-2028 and continue appraisal drilling in both the East and West Beetaloo depocenters. The company is also progressing new pipeline and joint venture opportunities aimed at connecting its gas to both domestic markets and potential LNG export facilities.

Further targets include cost reductions in drilling and completions, additional resource delineation, and participation in strategic infrastructure projects like the Territory Energy Link.
