Tamboran Successfully Completes Largest Beetaloo Basin Drilling Program
Highlights
-
Tamboran Resources Beetaloo Basin . - The program included the batch drilling of the Shenandoah South -4H (SS-4H), -5H and -6H wells, each successfully completed with a target lateral length of 10,000-feet. The three wells have been successfully cased and suspended ahead of stimulation activities.
- The average spud-to-TD (total depth) across the program was 26.7 days, with the drilling and casing time delivered within the 35-day forecast.
-
The program saw an increase in efficiency driven by the application of new
Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR) anti-vibration drilling technology. This resulted in Tamboran drilling its fastest horizontal section in theMid Velkerri B Shale to date in the SS-6H well, reaching over 1,100 metres (3,603 feet) in a day. -
Tamboran plans to complete the SS-4H well in 4Q 2025. The program includes up to 60 stages across the full 10,000-foot horizontal section within the
Mid Velkerri B Shale using the importedLiberty Energy (NYSE: LBRT) modern stimulation equipment. The SS-4H well is planned to be flow tested for 30 days ahead of being shut-in for future gas sales.
