Tamboran Resources has set a new Beetaloo gas flow record

A leading Territory gas explorer has posted record gas flew results from its leading asset. Read what they did.

Territory gas players Tamboran Resources has set a new gas flow record for the Beetaloo Basin.

Results released late Monday showed the Shenandoah South 2H sidetrack well achieved a 7.2 million cubic feet per day flow-rate over a 5482 foot stretch within the Mid Velkerri B Shale.

Extrapolated at 13.2 million standard cubic feet per day over 10,000 feet, Tamboran chief executive Joel Riddle said the results re-enforced Tamboran’s longer-term view about the commercial viability of the Mid Velkerri B Shale.

“The Shenandoah South 2H sidetrack well has delivered a record average IP30 flow result of 7.2 MMcf/d from the Beetaloo Basin to date,” Mr Riddle said. “Results show a material step up in flow rate from a horizontal section estimated approximately three times longer than the SS-1H well.

“The IP30 flow rate over a 5482-foot horizontal section is another positive data point that demonstrates potential commercial productivity of the shale formation in the Australian East Coast gas market that typically sells at a premium to Henry Hub in the US and under long term CPI-linked contracts.

“Importantly, the results from SS-2H ST1 are in-line with the average of more than 11,000 wells produced for over 12-months in the Marcellus Shale dry gas area a, the most prolific shale gas basin in the world.

“At the end of the 30-day period, the well continues to experience steady flow performance, low decline rates and favourable wellhead pressures, which underscore the reliability and scalability of our operations.

“Importantly, Tamboran continues to bring key lessons from the US to accelerate the commercial development of the Beetaloo Basin. We have already delivered an impressive improvement in drilling efficiency and stimulation intensity in the first two wells of the Shenandoah South area.

“Lessons from the completion and flow back of the SS-2H ST1 well will be incorporated into the design of the remaining four wells required to deliver first gas sales in mid-2026, subject to standard regulatory and stakeholder approvals.

“SS-2H ST1 is another foundation well, that demonstrates the Beetaloo Basin has

characteristics similar to wells drilled across the Marcellus dry gas area. We believe, like in the US, with more well results and incorporation of lessons we can improve and deliver this world-scale energy resource.”
