Tamboran Resources Ltd CEO Joel Riddle talked with Proactive about the company's newly signed letter of intent (LOI) with Arafura Resources Ltd to supply gas from the Beetaloo Basin. Riddle explained that both companies are based in the Northern Territory, and the agreement supports local strategic projects by providing 25 terajoules (TJs) per day to Arafura's critical minerals project. The agreement aligns with Tamboran's strategy of prioritising Northern Territory gas use. “We're a Northern Territory company. We've been focused on appraising the Beetaloo Basin now for all 12 years I've been in my job,” Riddle said, highlighting the company's long-term commitment to the region. Riddle also pointed out the environmental edge of Beetaloo Basin gas, which has a CO2 content of about 3%, significantly lower than the 15–20% typically found in other Australian basins. He said supplying this low-carbon gas to the East Coast would help reduce emissions by displacing higher-carbon alternatives. Discussing supply capacity, Riddle compared the Beetaloo to the Marcellus Shale in the US, noting it could provide enough gas to support the East Coast for “hundreds of years”. Tamboran plans to bring 40 TJs per day online in the first half of next year under an existing 15-year agreement with the NT Government. The Arafura deal will add a further 25 TJs daily. Riddle said work is underway with pipeline partner APA to ensure infrastructure capacity. The company aims to finalise a binding gas sales agreement with Arafura soon. Watch the full interview to hear how Tamboran is positioning Beetaloo gas as a key part of the East Coast supply solution, while supporting Northern Territory industry.

Proactive's Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts' of the latest news from Tamboran Resources Corporation (NYSE: TBN, ASX: TBN). The company provided an operational update on the Shenandoah South-3H (SS-3H) well in exploration permit EP 98 within the Beetaloo Basin. The well was drilled, cased and cemented to a total depth of more than 21,000 feet in 25 days, achieving a drilling rate of 843 feet per day, 43% faster than the SS-2H well. It includes a 10,000-foot horizontal section below 8,000 feet true vertical depth, a first for the Beetaloo Basin. Strong gas shows and high-quality shale properties were observed across the horizontal section, with no faulting. Liberty Energy equipment is on-site, and a 100–120 stage stimulation campaign is scheduled for early Q1 2025. SS-2H ST1 will undergo up to 45 stimulation stages, while SS-3H is designed for up to 75 stages. Initial 30-day flow tests for both wells are expected in Q1 2025. This result supports plans for the 2025 Shenandoah South Pilot Project, aimed at developing additional wells to deliver gas to the Northern Territory market. The company credited the operations team for their efficiency, highlighting the high-quality shale properties consistent with other drilling in the Shenandoah region. #ProactiveInvestors #TamboranResources #ASX #NYSE #BeetalooBasin #ShaleGas #OilAndGas #EnergyDevelopment #GasExploration #DrillingSuccess #NorthernTerritory #HorizontalDrilling #EnergyInnovation #GasSupply #HydraulicFracturing #ShaleDevelopment #EnergyProjects #NaturalGas #FlowTesting #TamboranEnergy #ExplorationSuccess #EnergyAustralia #PilotProject

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWJuly 15th 2024 (repeat)PRODUCED BY Vivien LangfordTAMBORAN AGM - "DON'T FRACK THE NT"andPACIFIC CLIMATE WARRIORS TOUR GOMEROI COUNTRYGUESTS:Aunty Rhonda Dixon-Madden - Welcome to countryTamika Sadler and Larissa Baldwin-Roberts - Get UpMilima May -Larrakia  and Bradley Farrar- Alawa   from Beetaloo  who travelled from NT to this AGM of TamboranDr Emma Skowronski - Doctors for the EnvironmentThanks to organisers from 350.org, AYCC and Get Up!Pacific Climate Warriors Gabriel Veigaunavinaka in FijiJacybnta Fa'Amau in Australia In early November, Gomeroi and Gamilaraay traditional owners, Pacific Climate Warriors and activists, school strikers, local farmers, Move Beyond Coal community members and more came together on Gomeroi country in north-west NSW. Together, we shared stories of resistance and resilience, built deeper relationships and stood in solidarity with Gomeroi & Gamilaraay custodians - whose land is being exploited by fossil fuel companies such as Whitehaven Coal and Santos.This is a recount of what happened over the course of that special weekend - the stories that were told, the fights that were shared, and the solidarity built between communities. (Thanks to Move Beyond Coal)When country expands beyond what your eyes can comprehend, melting into the horizon, it's beyond beautiful, and quite indescribable. This is what I experienced as I watched the landscapes change towards our destination, the colours of the trees and land changing every so often. I knew from this point, that the trip to Narrabri on Gomeroi country, where devastating coal and gas extraction projects are widespread, would be one to remember. On arrival, we were welcomed by Gomeroi custodian Karra Kinchela and her family, by the Namoi river, as the wind rustled through the trees and soon after, embraced the young dancers and Karra's cousin, Clinton Lamb, who led the welcome to country. The stars eventually dressed the night sky as the night crept in, whilst the Pacific Climate Warriors thanked those who welcomed us with their own traditional fijian kava ceremony. Joy and laughter filled the campsite of our initial meeting place, which would reflect the real essence of the people who were fighting for Gomeroi country in Narrabri.Our second day on Gomeroi country, Karra showed us around, first at a site in the Pilliga Forest where water is filtered through to the underground water and finds its way to sea. She talked about how even on country that is considered freshwater, it is still connected to saltwater, and that whatever happens on her country is inherently connected to all countries. This lit up the fire in many people and for some, only added wood to the fire. There were direct connections being made between the effects coal and gas companies like Whitehaven Coal and Santos had on Narrabri and those close by, but also to the ocean and the Pacific Islands.Karra continued the tour by taking us to the front gates of Santos' Lee Wood gas facility.. She described how mining companies enjoy interacting with communities in order to claim, through social licensing, that those communities support their plans. Karra explained that continuing to participate in rallies and actions for Gomeroi country is one of the best ways to combat these false claims of support. She went on to explain how Whitehaven Coal, with numerous coal mines in the area with plans to expand, has eaten a lot of their country. Whitehaven promises all of these jobs and benefits to the community and Indigenous peoples, but these promises are only fallacies, with only a select few hired; their attempt to divert everyone's attention away from the reality that they are not only destroying country, but endangering the lives of those who live in the towns where they mine.We then headed to Maules Creek for lunch, where we were joined by one of the local Gamilaraay elders, Uncle Neville Sampson, who alongside a few other locals who have been fighting fossil fuel projects in their community for decades  explained the history of their fights. Uncle Neville talked about his resilience, and the resilience of those who continue to ensure a future for his people.After lunch, there was an opportunity to visit one of the local farms, and I put my hand up straight away. Being from a small village myself, from a remote island, I wanted to explore what life looked like right next to a coal mine. I remember most of my childhood in my village of Bauz, on Mer Island, in what is colonially known as the Torres Strait. Being from somewhere so remote, with a close knit community, I wondered if I could see a reflection of home amongst the tour, whether in the landscapes or the people. On the tour, we stopped every so often, learning what it takes to farm in Narrabri, about pink slugs and the houses and lands that were sold due to people getting extremely sick from not just the dust in the air from the mines but the gas released from the explosions. One of the farms belonged to a elderly woman, who was constantly sick due to the fumes, and had eventually sold her land and house, which now remains empty. Mining giants seem to have every right to not only harm the environment, but even the people who live within the environment it wants to destroy. After visiting the farm, and patting horses whilst learning about how climate change has even affected what farmers choose to grow now, we returned to Maules Creek renewed and even more passionate about stopping Whitehaven Coal.On our last day, we held an action at  sunrise - in front of Whitehaven Coal's Tarrawonga coal mine. When we arrived at the mine, what was in front of me was not only confronting, but made me feel both physically and spiritually ill. How could anyone devour a land and make it so baron, how could anyone harm country in such a vicious and heartless way, knowing that this land is so inherently connected to Gomeroi people? The trauma that the land experiences translates into real trauma for those who descend from these lands. When you kill or harm a land, you kill or harm it's people. Comprehending this tragedy, one that is paid for, that seeks the destruction of this country to gain profit, was difficult, but it was a reality that had to be acknowledged. It is our reality, and thus our responsibility to ensure that Karra, her family, her people, are able to live, not just survive, on their country, safe and sound. We shared stories, songs and dances in front of the mine, whilst mining security guards watched us as they patrolled the parameters. I couldn't help but mourn for country, but I could also feel the strength of everyone in this space, especially the Gomeroi mob who were so kind and gracious in inviting us to their country to see the truth of this place with our own eyes. Together, in times of crisis, when politicians let us down, we must rally together, allowing our communities to speak for themselves. We can see hope in the First Nations communities fighting to protect the country from new coal and gas projects. We see it in the global demands from Pacific leaders for no new coal and gas, phase out plans and renewables expansion. I remember some of my last words with Uncle Neville, he told me to keep fighting, but to also remember, that I am stronger, and that no matter what, Gomeroi country is who he is, and he will always know and be a part of its land, water and sky. In solidarity, we can protect this country.With Kindness and Au Esuau,Meleika on behalf of Move Beyond CoalP.S. Now more than ever, we need to all stand together and show our politicians that we are building a movement that will outmatch the power of coal and gas corporations like Whitehaven Coal and Santos, who are destroying Gomeroi sacred country and willingly contributing to devastating climate impacts in the Pacific and more.Join Move Beyond Coal teams and grassroots climate groups across the country for a Week of Action from 4-12 December(link is external), to take action in our communities to Turn Up the Heat on Labor.Move Beyond Coalhttps://www.movebeyondcoal.com/

The company holds a large acreage position across the basin, with contingent resources of 1,906 petajoules (PJ) of gas and 3.5 million barrels of liquids.Empire's key project is the Carpentaria play in the eastern part of the Beetaloo basin, where the company has drilled 4 wells that have successfully flowed gas. Carpentaria has a 2C contingent resource of 1,739 PJ of gas and a prospective resource of over 3,500 PJ. Empire is moving towards pilot production at Carpentaria, targeting first gas in 2024.In the western Beetaloo basin, Empire holds over 1 million acres with prospective resources of 28,000 PJ. The company plans further seismic and drilling to appraise this large position.The Beetaloo basin is considered one of the most promising shale gas basins globally, with over 500 trillion cubic feet of gas in place according to government estimates. Empire is well positioned in the basin and is advancing development plans to supply domestic and export markets. With a large resource base, progressing field development, and upcoming pilot production, Empire offers significant upside potential for investors.View Empire Energy's Company Profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/empire-energy-group

Empire Energy Group Limited (ASX:EEG) is a Sydney based Australian oil & gas company holding 100%-owned and operated assets with unconventional targets in the Northern Territory Beetaloo Sub-basin and central trough of the McArthur Basin.With all operators increasingly active in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, attention is building as to the immense potential of this newly recognised province. Empire has completed a vertical frack and flow test of its first well (Carpentaria-1) and a successful horizontal or “lateral” well at Carpentaria 2H with a view to realising early commercial production using existing pipeline infrastructure. Carpentaria-4V and Carpentaria-3H will also be drilled this dry season, subject to logistics. Across the Beetaloo both the Santos/Tamboran and Origin/Falcon JV's have made big steps with lateral wells – also into the Velkerri B shale. Empire has the largest holdings across the Beetaloo-McArthur Basins and is also targeting the Velkerri B shale and sees strong potential in the other “stacked play” units, the Velkerri A, C and A-B.

Each week we speak with Chris Walsh, Editor of the NT Independent online newspaper, about some of the stories making news in the Territory. This week's stories are: 1.

Empire Energy Group Ltd (ASX:EEG) managing director Alex Underwood tells Proactive that successful drilling of the Carpentaria-3H well, on time and below budget, demonstrates that their team continues to lead the development of the Beetaloo Basin. He says the final cost of drilling and casing this latest well is likely to be lower than the cost of Empire's first horizontal well, Carpentaria-2H, despite having double the length of horizontal section within the target Velkerri-B shale section. #ProactiveInvestors #EmpireEnergy #ASX #BeetalooBasin #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

This interview is irresistably upbeat but we would like to know your response : climateaction3CR@gmail.comKetan Joshi found that while Legacy media de-prioritised Climate and the Environment, it was far and away the most discussed issed on Social Media. The 2022 Election result should not have been such a surprise to baby boomershttps://reneweconomy.com.au/the-political-and-media-establishment-ignored-climate-but-voters-didnt/ Dominic Geiger previously a journalist with the Dalby Herald in  QLD, tells us to go on Google Earth to see what damage the Fossil Gas Industry has done to beautiful farmland. The mainstreeam media might not be telling us about it but  he is not so worried by the Murdoch media monopoly in Qld,  because he says young people are all connected to social media and news on the Internet. However at Lock the Gates he is ardent to get us to realise that all the so called "gas basins.".. Seurat, Beetaloo and Bowen Basin are actually place where people live and where  there is an ecosystem to protect in this driest continent on earth. Journalists who blow in and refer to them as basins are doing the work or the gas and petroleium industry and a dis service to the heroic work of conservation by local people.https://www.lockthegate.org.au/energy_crisis_architect_santos_at_it_again_with_qld_coal_seam_gas_expansion Fahimah Badrulhisham  from ARRCC is enlivened by what can be achieved under the radar by social media. She realised that opiniion pieces in the Legacy media are only the opinion of one person. Social media allows the perspective of black and brown people, people in coal affected communities and people worried about the right being trampled on.  They communicate laterally and give each other heart. She participated in many actions in the Wentworth Electorate where a TEAL candidate, Allegra Spender,defeated the Liberal Party incumbent. The  community communication  at Forums and in social media  was way below the Legacy Media commentary and  was vindicated in her opinion by the change in government.https://www.arrcc.org.au/fahimahhttps://twitter.com/arrcc1/status/1527946349597310976

Peter chats with Joel Riddle, CEO at Tamboran Resources (ASX:TBN)

IT is the largest untapped gas play on the planet – the onshore Beetaloo and broader McArthur basins. Two companies – Armour Energy and Tamboran Resources – hold vast acreage positions which once developed could solve an impending energy crisis in Australia. It comes as the world grapples with the challenge of the energy transition, which can only be accomplished with gas. Furthermore, as the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, gas will play a vital role in providing energy security across Australia. The Top End is well positioned to take advantage of soaring demand in decades to come. Tamboran, founded in 2009, was a first mover in the onshore region and farmed out a stake in its project to Santos. The ASX-listed company is currently working with Sanots to de-risk its premium acreage footprint, with a view to supply natural gas to LNG hubs for export and pipe gas to the east coast domestic market. Armour Energy is also listed on the local bourse and is already a gas producer. It is working to spin off its acreage into a new company called McArthur Oil & Gas. In this special edition feature discussion for the annual Northern Territory Resources Week and SEAOCC, Energy News senior journalist Paul Hunt is joined by Tamboran CEO Joel Riddle, Armour Energy/McArthur Oil & Gas chief Brad Lingo, and the head of the NT Gas Taskforce Alister Trier, to discuss the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

Australia is currently battling high electricity prices after gas demand from both domestic and international markets tightened drastically over the last 12 months. The Gippsland Basin – which has powered the east coast for decades is running out of gas – renewables currently cannot keep up. Does Empire Energy and its assets in the Beetaloo hold the answer over the next decade? According to the latest Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) report, without new production along with gas import terminals, Australia could grapple with an energy emergency. The AEMO Gas Statement of Opportunities – the leading report providing a realistic gas outlook in Australia – the country needs urgent gas supply. AEMO has singled out the Beetaloo Basin as the potential source for this gas. Australia is in a mining boom where miners are happy to secure gas at all-time highs to power projects which underwrite Australia's economy. During this quarter, energy prices hit new highs in Queensland. Prices across the rest of the nation are still high too. This is not just a problem Australia is facing. In Europe energy prices recently hit all-time highs. This was because there, put quite simply, wasn't enough wind or sun to power renewable based generation. Data from the Office of the Chief Economist warns of global gas shortfalls. While the US and Qatar will play an important part in meeting this demand, Australia remains the biggest producer and exporter of LNG to international markets. At the same time, international trading partners – from China to Japan – are buying up cargos of LNG, which is keeping pressure on the market. The latest data showed Chinese LNG demand is outpacing Japan's and will continue to grow. Australian exports of LNG are near record highs. This demand for gas, both domestically and internationally, is not expected to let up any time soon. Not for decades. So, is the Beetaloo Basin the answer? Well, yes. Even with Santos' massive Narrabri coal seam gas project in New South Wales. In fact, there's talk of importing LNG from Queensland and Western Australia to feed electricity demand in NSW and Vic. However, this will cost more than piping gas. The Beetaloo Basin of the Northern Territory could be a more affordable option for domestic consumers, while allowing LNG exports (the second biggest export in Australia) to continue providing economic benefits for the nation. In this special feature interview, Energy News senior journalist Paul Hunt discusses the game-changing project operated by Empire Energy, and the future of energy security in Australia. He was joined by Empire Energy managing director Alex Underwood.

The Northern Territory's Beetaloo Basin is key to the Morrison government's plan to expand Australia's gas supply. Guardian reporter Christopher Knaus explains why traditional owners and environmentalists are fighting to stop this from happening, and why there's a Senate inquiry into government grants for companies keen to explore the basin

JobSeeker was a massive corporate handout, Tasmanian Liberals don't want to frighten the kids, and the government gives millions of dollars to gas miners (with Labor's help).   Politics of envy The 2020 JobSeeker program handed out millions of dollars to prop up record corporate profits. Scott Morrison is “not into the politics of envy”. Independent MP Rex Patrick pushed for a bill to force companies to reveal information showing if they really needed the Jobkeeper grants. Labor backed down. Jaquie Lambie accused the Labor party of “slapping the little person”. Don't frighten the children! The Tasmanian Liberals voted down declaring a climate emergency, saying it was “scaring the children”. Flooding the sub-basin in cash The Liberal party have granted $50 million for gas exploration in the Beetaloo Basin. Two of the companies funded have links to tax havens and Russian oligarchs. The third company, Empire Energy, received $21m. Empire Energy has close ties with the Liberals. Complained the the grant process was corrupt, but still voted to allow it. Traditional owners were cut out of the grant processes. Meanwhile, in the private sector BHP is slashing value from it's coal assets. Origin Energy is trying to get out of coal. Angus Taylor's “CoalKeeper” plan is going to increase electricity prices by $400 per household, per year. For the first time, Australia generated more solar energy than coal. Australia's Bureau of Meteorology has been gagged from talking about climate change. Shoutouts Support the fundraiser for Beyond Bricks and Bars — a trans and gender diverse decarceration project.

Follow the Money: federal budget recapIn the federal budget announced last month, A$52.9 million was allocated to expanding Australia's gas industry, and an extra A$8.7 million was slipped to NSW's Vales Point power station.The announcements have added new urgency to community efforts to protect the Beetaloo Basin from fracking in the NT and are meeting with resistance from renewable energy advocates across the country. This episode we hear from Dr Brad Smith, campaign director at Nature Conservation Council about resistance to Vales Point upgrades, Dan Robins from Protect Country Alliance about the campaign for the Beetaloo, and Nicky Ison, Energy Transition Manager at World Wildlife Fund about what the budget offers for the renewables industry. Guests: Dr Brad Smith, campaign director, Nature Conservation CouncilDan Robins, Protect Country AllianceNicky Ison, Energy Transition Manager, World Wildlife Fund This week's show is #1271 and was produced by Else Kennedy

Empire Energy is an ASX-listed oil and gas explorer trading under the ticket EEG. The Australian company is one of the first movers in the Beetaloo and McArthur basins in the Northern Territory. Earlier this year we spoke to Empire Energy managing director Alex Underwood. At that time, Empire Energy had not yet drilled its first exploration well in the Beetaloo basin of the Northern Territory. But we canvassed the project and looked at the potential of the well and the resource it was targeting. In this edition we speak again to managing director Alex Underwood about the progress made, as Empire announces it has reached total depth at the Carpentaria-1 well and on the way, has hit more than just gas.

The revolution is coming. This is how it started. Australian onshore oil and gas explorer Empire Energy ($EEG) is at the forefront of the appraisal and development of the massive new liquids-rich gas Beetaloo and McArthur Basins. The two basins are located in the Northern Territory, giving future gas developments access to international markets (China, Japan and India) and also domestic markets in the south.
