Australia's Tamboran to supply gas for Arafura's Nolans project
Tamboran has signed a non-binding letter of intent with a unit of Arafura, under which the former intends to supply 18 to 25 terajoules per day (TJ/d) of natural gas. Arafura would potentially support the development of the Beetaloo basin acreage.
Arafura's earlier gas supply agreement with the Mereenie gas field joint venture, which was signed in February last year, was set to lapse on March 31.
Arafura's Nolans project produces Neodymium-Praseodymium, a blend of two rare earth metals of neodymium and praseodymium which is used to make powerful magnets for modern technologies.
The company has existing rare earths oxide deals with automakers such as Hyundai (011760.KS), opens new tab and Kia (000270.KS), opens new tab, and with renewable energy major Siemens Gamesa RE.

Peru's Petroperu eyes pipeline link for Ecuador oil
LIMA, Aug 7 (Reuters) - State-run Petroperu is working on a framework agreement with its counterpart Petroecuador to connect oil wells in Ecuador with Peru's northern pipeline, its chairman said on Thursday. The agreement, which is being drafted by Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines, would include investment and execution commitments for an approximately 60-kilometer (37-mile) connection line in an Amazonian region on the countries' shared border. "The exact investment for this connection and how it will be financed have yet to be defined," Petroperu Chairman Alejandro Narvaez said. Speaking at a conference with the foreign press, the executive stated that the project, after a development period, would allow Ecuadorean crude to reach the newly expanded 95,000 barrel-per-day Talara refinery in northern Peru via the pipeline. The Peruvian oil company, which is navigating a crisis after the larger-than-planned investment in Talara, expects to post a profit of $103 million next year, recovering from an estimated loss of $223 million for 2025. Petroperu CEO Oscar Vera, speaking at the same conference, said Petroecuador would likely make the majority of the investment. "It is of greater interest to them, because it is very costly for Petroecuador to transport crude using their current methods," Vera said. Petroecuador did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Peru's 1,100-kilometer pipeline, which has suffered frequent attacks from local communities that have halted its activities, is currently operational but is not in service as it has no active transport contracts with area producers. Separately, Petroperu announced earlier this week that it had exported approximately 137,500 barrels of commercial jet fuel to Ecuador from Talara.

Trump signs order targeting banks over claims of discrimination
WASHINGTON, Aug 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday that targeted banks over what his administration says are discriminatory practices. "The Order directs Federal banking regulators to remove reputational risk and other equivalent concepts that enable politicized or unlawful debanking from their guidance, examination manuals and other materials," the White House said in a statement. The order directs officials "to develop a comprehensive strategy to further combat politicized or unlawful debanking activities," the White House added. Sources told Reuters earlier this week that the White House was preparing to act against banks for allegedly dropping customers for political reasons.
