Natural gas company Tamboran Resources Corporation and Santos Limited are evaluating the potential expansion of Darwin LNG’s second train, which could increase its production capacity to approximately six million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually.
Under a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the duo will undertake technical studies for the proposed plans, evaluating options for supplying natural gas to a potential expansion train.
Darwin LNG is in the Beetaloo Basin, Australia. Santos operates the existing DLNG project with a 43.4% working interest. If the expansion goes ahead, Santos will hold a 75% stake in the project and Tamboran a 25% stake.
Tamboran has around two million net prospective areas across the Beetaloo Basin and holds significant gas resources capable of supplying the Northern Territory and Australia’s East Coast gas market for decades.
“We believe the shale within the deepest Beetaloo East region is on par with some of the high-quality shale qualities we have successfully unlocked in the Shenandoah South area in the Beetaloo West,” the company said in a statement.
Tamboran and Santos are committed to supplying natural gas from the Beetaloo Basin to Australian and international LNG markets.
Darwin LNG was commissioned in 2006 and was originally designed to process gas transported via a 500-kilometre subsea pipeline from the Bayu-Undan gas field in the Timor Sea.
