AUSTRALIAN independent Tamboran Resources is advancing plans for a grassroots liquefied natural gas project onshore the Northern Territory, which would utilise low reservoir carbon dioxide gas produced in the Beetaloo basin as feedstock. Tamboran has been granted exclusivity for a 170-hectare site at Middle Arm by the NT government for its proposed NTLNG project, which would have initial liquefaction capacity of 6.6 million tonnes per annum. The Middle Arm acreage has been allocated on a "do not deal" basis for one year, allowing Tamboran to progress a concept select phase for the proposed NTLNG development. If deemed commercial, Tamboran aims to sanction the proposed LNG project by 2026, with first volumes expected to be produced by 2030. The greenfield LNG project would have potential for expansion beyond 6.6 million tpa, subject to completion of the concept select study, successful appraisal drilling and flow testing in the Beetaloo basin and the required government approvals. NTLNG represents the first fully integrated onshore LNG development in Northern Australia where upstream, midstream and downstream production and processing are all based in the territory.
