Tamboran Resources Corporation and Santos Limited (ASX: STO) have entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to undertake technical studies relating to a potential Darwin LNG (DLNG) Train 2 expansion
- Tamboran Resources Corporation and Santos Limited (ASX: STO) have entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to undertake technical studies relating to a potential Darwin LNG (DLNG) Train 2 expansion and collaborative work on the jointly owned EP 161 acreage (Santos 75% operator, Tamboran 25%) in the Beetaloo Basin.
- The goal of the studies is to evaluate options for supplying natural gas to a potential expansion train at the existing DLNG facility at Middle Arm. DLNG was approved to a nominal 10 million tonnes of LNG per annum (MTPA), with this expansion opportunity up to ~6 MTPA.
- Santos is the operator of the existing DLNG project with a 43.4% working interest.
- Tamboran and Santos are joint venture partners in the EP 161 acreage which holds ~300,000 acres of Mid Velkerri B Shale at depths below 8,850 feet (~2,700 metres). The region has demonstrated Marcellus Basin-type decline curves from two Tanumbirini wells that were drilled and flow tested in 2022.
- Tamboran remains committed to progressing the development of the proposed NTLNG project at Middle Arm, which is currently undergoing pre-FEED studies with Bechtel Corporation.
- Tamboran and Santos are both committed to supplying natural gas from the Beetaloo Basin into both the Australian domestic gas and international LNG markets.
