Tamboran Announces US$55.4 Million PIPE of Common Stock to Fund Ongoing Drilling Activities to Reach Plateau Production From the Proposed SS Pilot Project
Tamboran Resources Corporation (NYSE: TBN, ASX: TBN):
Tamboran Resources Corporation Chief Executive Officer, Joel Riddle, said:
“The additional capital, raised through the PIPE and the asset sale to Daly Waters allows us to be fully funded to drill and complete the three remaining wells that are expected to support production of appraisal gas reaching ~40 MMcf/d at our proposed Shenandoah South Pilot Project in mid-2026. The three well drilling program is planned to commence in mid-2025 and will allow continuous operations until the end of 2025 to support cost efficiency.
“The SS-2H ST1 well, which has been soaking since mid-March, 2025, has now commenced flow testing. We are on track to announce the IP30 flow result in June 2025.
“We thank our shareholders for their support in the PIPE and look forward to a busy 2H 2025 and delivery of first gas from our operations in mid-2026.”
