Tamboran Resources Limited (ASX: $TBN) has achieved significant progress with the Shenandoah South 1H (SS-1H) wellpad in the Beetaloo West area, Northern Territory, Australia. The SS-1H IP30 flow test has delivered normalized rates of 6.4 MMcf/d, exceeding pre-drill expectations. This achievement has led to the de-risking of approximately 1 million acres of the Mid-Velkerri dry gas play, marking a crucial milestone in Tamboran's focused strategy for development in the Shenandoah South area.
The SS-1H IP30 flow test has demonstrated exceptional performance, exceeding our initial projections. This outcome has significantly de-risked the acreage in the Beetaloo West area and has provided a clear pathway for the proposed 40 MMcf/d Shenandoah South Pilot Project. We are leveraging our learnings from successful US shale gas basins over the last decade to optimize the development in this area. The incorporation of 'US-style' completion design and the application of US technology have been instrumental in achieving these outstanding results.
Tamboran Resources has made substantial advancements with the Shenandoah South 1H wellpad, achieving IP30 flow rates that have exceeded expectations and de-risked a significant portion of the Mid-Velkerri dry gas play. The company is now focused on progressing the proposed 40 MMcf/d Shenandoah South Pilot Project, targeting a Final Investment Decision in mid-2024 and first gas by the first half of 2026. Tamboran's strategic partnerships with H&P and Liberty, as well as the formal agreements with APA Group, demonstrate the company's commitment to importing US technology and additional pipelines into the Beetaloo Basin.
