Exciting Developments at Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd
Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd (“Falcon”)
Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) has received important approval from the Northern Territory Government for the Beneficial Use of Gas agreement. This significant milestone enables Falcon and its joint venture partner, Tamboran (B2) Pty Limited, to sell appraisal gas from the Shenandoah South Pilot Project.
Key Highlights of the Approval
The approval obtained allows the sale of appraisal gas from EP98 in the Beetaloo sub-basin. This is the inaugural approval granted under the new Beneficial Use of Gas legislation by the Northern Territory Government.
Details of the Agreement
Falcon and its partners have signed an agreement that permits the sale of up to 60 TJ of gas per day from the project over the next three years, following the terms laid out in the Agreement.
Commitments for Future Development
The joint venture partners have agreed to deliver an initial supply of 40 million cubic feet of gas per day to the Northern Territory Government until mid-2041, ensuring energy security for the region. This initiative also sets the groundwork for the construction of the A$140 million Sturt Plateau Compression Facility (SPCF), which Falcon will not bear any construction costs.
Anticipated Timeline for Gas Sales
Gas sales using the SPCF are projected to commence in mid-2026, dependent upon weather conditions and final regulatory approvals.
Pipeline Development
This month marks the initiation of work on the Northern Territory's first Beetaloo pipeline. APA Group is investing A$70 million to construct the 37-kilometer Sturt Plateau Pipeline. This development promises to advance gas distribution in the area.
2025 Drilling Campaign Insights
The company is also making strides with its 2025 drilling campaign, in which the intermediate sections of three wells have been successfully completed. Currently, drilling is underway on the horizontal section of the S2-5H well in the Amungee B Shale. This campaign is notable as it's the first multi-well drilling program to employ batch drilling in the Beetaloo Basin.
Financial Considerations
Falcon Australia opted for a 0% participating interest in the drilling of these wells, assuming no cost exposure for the operations. However, they maintain a 5% interest in the stimulation of the S2-4H well, which is set for Q4 2025.
CEO Philip O’Quigley Comments on Progress
CEO Philip O’Quigley expressed enthusiasm regarding the increased activity within the Beetaloo region, emphasizing the progress in both drilling and pipeline construction. He stated that it is a remarkable period for the company and its strategic partners.
