Question · Q4 2025
Khalid Yasin from Bank of America asked for insights into what a successful outcome for the ongoing farmout process would entail, given its critical timing. He also questioned whether Tamboran Resources, under the new leadership and in preparation for the next CEO, remains committed to its original business plan of pursuing both domestic gas sales and LNG development opportunities.
Answer
Dick Stoneburner, Chairman and Interim CEO, stated that it was premature to discuss specific valuation expectations for the farmout, emphasizing it's an ongoing, negotiated process aimed at achieving the best outcome for the company. He noted strong interest from a wide range of qualified counterparties. Regarding the business plan, Stoneburner affirmed Tamboran's commitment to both domestic gas sales and LNG development, highlighting different timelines for each. He explained that initial sales in mid-2026 would target the Northern Territory, with a ramp-up for Southeast markets as Phase Two, requiring significant infrastructure. LNG development, a long-dated exercise, could involve brownfield expansion at existing Darwin LNG facilities or a greenfield project at Northern NT LNG, with the ultimate path potentially influenced by the farming partner's views.
