Tamboran Resources approaches production inflection point as Australia’s gas squeeze deepens
Tamboran Resources (NYSE: TBN) is nearing first gas sales from its Shenandoah South Pilot Project in Australia's Beetaloo Basin. The company expects to supply 40 terajoules per day under a 9-year contract, with potential expansion to 100 terajoules by 2028. Tamboran aims to reduce well costs and has secured funding to support further development, targeting larger markets like Australia's east coast and Asia.
