Exciting Developments in Tamboran Resources Operations
Tamboran Resources Corporation has recently announced the initiation of a major stimulation campaign focusing on the SS-2H ST1 and SS-3H wells located in the Beetaloo Basin. Joel Riddle, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tamboran Resources, voiced his enthusiasm regarding this new phase of operations using advanced stimulation technology from Liberty Energy.
Stimulation Campaign Overview
This stimulation campaign is expected to achieve record milestones in the Beetaloo Basin, starting with up to 119 stages across a full lateral length of approximately 15,193 feet (about 4,631 meters). This translates to an average of about 127 feet per stimulated stage. With the robust capabilities of Liberty Energy's modern equipment, Tamboran anticipates marked improvements in both stimulation efficiency and proppant intensity compared to previous operations.
Impact on Northern Territory's Energy Supply
One of the most notable aspects of this campaign is its potential impact on energy supply to the Northern Territory. The SS-2H ST1 and SS-3H wells are poised to be among the first providing reliable energy to the region. The expected production will feed into the proposed 40 MMcf/d Shenandoah South Pilot Project, significantly bolstering the local energy infrastructure.
Experience and Preparedness
Tamboran Resources has a solid track record, having successfully executed stimulation programs during the wet season over the past two years. Campaigns conducted at Amungee 2H in the 2022/23 period and Shenandoah South 1H in 2023/24 are testament to their operational expertise. This experience instills confidence in their ability to conduct safe and efficient operations year-round.
Operational Details
The SS-2H ST1 and SS-3H completion designs show an impressive increase in usable lateral stimulation length and the number of stimulated stages when compared to SS-1H. The SS-2H ST1 well will achieve a usable lateral stimulation length of 5,427 feet, while SS-3H will reach 9,766 feet. The increase in stages from 10 in SS-1H to 43 and 76 respectively marks a significant enhancement in operational capabilities.
