Question · Q4 2025
Anish Kapadia of Hannam & Partners requested an update on the SPCF funding, asking if Tamboran Resources is still considering a sell-down or debt funding and if this would ensure full funding to first gas. He also inquired about the nearer-term upside potential beyond the current 40 MMcf/day plan, specifically regarding unmet local market demand in the 2027-2028 timeframe. Finally, Kapadia asked for Tamboran's thoughts on Santos's planned drilling in EP161 in mid-next year and Tamboran's participation.
Answer
Eric Dyer, CFO, confirmed that Tamboran is pursuing an infrastructure debt facility for the SPCF, with about $20 million gross spent to date and a balance of $70-80 million needed. He noted strong interest and opportunities to expand the facility for modest incremental cost to meet additional local demand, potentially through sell-down or debt, subject to approvals. Dick Stoneburner, Chairman and Interim CEO, expressed excitement about Santos's two-well drilling program in EP161 for 2026, noting the area's potential and Tamboran's plan to participate, expecting significantly improved results over past tests due to better well design.
