SS-2H ST1 Delivers Record Beetaloo Basin IP30 Flow Rate of 7.2 MMcf/d, In-Line With Average IP30 Rate From Marcellus Dry Gas Area
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 16, 2025-- Tamboran Resources Corporation (NYSE: TBN, ASX: TBN): This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Figure 1: The SS-2H ST1 flow rates achieved a material step-up in IP30 rates as testing increases to longer lateral sections. Source: Company data Tamboran Resources Corporation Chief Executive Officer, Joel Riddle, said: 'The Shenandoah South 2H sidetrack well has delivered a record average IP30 flow result of 7.2 MMcf/d from the Beetaloo Basin to date. Results show a material step up in flow rate from a horizontal section stimulated approximately three times longer than the SS-1H well. 'The IP30 flow rate over a 5,482-foot horizontal section is another positive data point that demonstrates potential commercial productivity of the shale formation in the Australian East Coast gas market that typically sells at a premium to Henry Hub in the US and under long term CPI-linked contracts. 'Importantly, the results from SS-2H ST1 are in-line with the average of more than 11,000 wells produced for over 12-months in the Marcellus Shale dry gas area, the most prolific shale gas basin in the world. 'At the end of the 30-day period, the well continues to experience steady flow performance, low decline rates and favorable wellhead pressures, which underscore the reliability and scalability of our operations. 'Importantly, Tamboran continues to bring key lessons from the US to accelerate the commercial development of the Beetaloo Basin. We have already delivered an impressive improvement in drilling efficiency and stimulation intensity in the first two wells of the Shenandoah South area. 'Lessons from the completion and flow back of the SS-2H ST1 well will be incorporated into the design of the remaining four wells required to deliver first gas sales in mid-2026, subject to standard regulatory and stakeholder approvals. SS-2H ST1 is another foundation well, that demonstrates the Beetaloo Basin has characteristics similar to wells drilled across the Marcellus dry gas area. We believe, like in the US, with more well results and incorporation of lessons we can improve and deliver this world-scale energy resource.' Shenandoah South 2H ST1 flow results The SS-2H ST1 well in Tamboran B2-operated Exploration Permit (EP) 98 achieved average IP30 flow rates of 7.2 MMcf/d following the 35-stage stimulation program across a 5,483 feet (1,671 metres) lateral section in the Mid Velkerri B Shale. During the 30-day production testing period, the choke was opened from 10/64' to 40/64' at staged intervals. Gas rates declined from 10.4 MMcf/d to 6.6 MMcf/d, with an average IP30 flow rate of 7.2 MMcf/d and cumulative production of 217.2 MMcf over that period. Flowing wellhead pressures were drawn down from 4,565 to 906 psi. Table 1: Breakdown of the SS-2H ST1 IP30 flow result Ongoing Shenandoah South development activity Tamboran plans to commence the 2025 Shenandoah South drilling program in July 2025. The program includes drilling three wells, each with a 10,000-foot horizontal section and completed with up to 60 stimulation stages, subject to joint venture approval. The SS-3H well is planned to be completed and flow tested by the end of 2025, with the remaining three wells drilled in the 2025 campaign to be completed during 1H 2026. Completion of the remaining four wells will incorporate lessons from the SS-1H and SS-2H ST1 wells. The wells are expected to be tied into the SPCF ahead of the commencement of production in mid-2026 and supply gas sales to the Northern Territory Government under a take-or-pay GSA, subject to standard regulatory and stakeholder approvals and favorable weather conditions. The five wells are expected to deliver the required 40 MMcf/d volume under the take-or-pay agreement with the Northern Territory Government. The GSA with Tamboran is a significant contract for the Northern Territory given the high reliance on gas for power generation. Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited have elected not to participate in the 2025 Shenandoah South drilling program. As a result, the work program will be equally funded by Tamboran and Daly Waters Energy, LP. Webcast details Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Joel Riddle will hold a webcast on 8:00am EDT (New York) (10:00pm AEST, Sydney, Melbourne) on Monday June 16, 2025.

Pleasing Signs As A Number Of Insiders Buy Tamboran Resources Stock
Generally, when a single insider buys stock, it is usually not a big deal. However, when several insiders are buying, like in the case of Tamboran Resources Corporation (ASX:TBN), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders. While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Independent Non-Executive Director Ryan Dalton bought AU$450k worth of shares at a price of AU$35.97 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$0.17 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when insiders have purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price. In the last twelve months Tamboran Resources insiders were buying shares, but not selling. The average buy price was around AU$16.55. These transactions suggest that insiders have considered the current price attractive. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you click on the chart, you can see all the individual transactions, including the share price, individual, and the date! See our latest analysis for Tamboran Resources Tamboran Resources is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find small cap companies at attractive valuations, this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket. Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. It appears that Tamboran Resources insiders own 15% of the company, worth about AU$72m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders. It doesn't really mean much that no insider has traded Tamboran Resources shares in the last quarter. But insiders have shown more of an appetite for the stock, over the last year. Insiders do have a stake in Tamboran Resources and their transactions don't cause us concern. So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing. When we did our research, we found 3 warning signs for Tamboran Resources (2 can't be ignored!) that we believe deserve your full attention. If you would prefer to check out another company -- one with potentially superior financials -- then do not miss this free list of interesting companies, that have HIGH return on equity and low debt.

Tamboran Resources Corporation's (ASX:TBN) top owners are retail investors with 55% stake, while 21% is held by institutions
Tamboran Resources' significant retail investors ownership suggests that the key decisions are influenced by shareholders from the larger public A total of 23 investors have a majority stake in the company with 45% ownership 15% of Tamboran Resources is held by insiders We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Every investor in Tamboran Resources Corporation (ASX:TBN) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. With 55% stake, retail investors possess the maximum shares in the company. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. And institutions on the other hand have a 21% ownership in the company. Institutions often own shares in more established companies, while it's not unusual to see insiders own a fair bit of smaller companies. In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of Tamboran Resources. See our latest analysis for Tamboran Resources Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. Tamboran Resources already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Tamboran Resources, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Tamboran Resources. Bryan Sheffield is currently the company's largest shareholder with 9.3% of shares outstanding. The second and third largest shareholders are Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association-College Retirement Equities Fund and Nuveen, LLC, with an equal amount of shares to their name at 7.5%. On studying our ownership data, we found that 23 of the top shareholders collectively own less than 50% of the share register, implying that no single individual has a majority interest. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily. The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it. Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group. Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of Tamboran Resources Corporation. It has a market capitalization of just AU$480m, and insiders have AU$70m worth of shares in their own names. It is great to see insiders so invested in the business. It might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying recently. The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a substantial 55% stake in Tamboran Resources, suggesting it is a fairly popular stock. This level of ownership gives investors from the wider public some power to sway key policy decisions such as board composition, executive compensation, and the dividend payout ratio. Public companies currently own 6.9% of Tamboran Resources stock. We can't be certain but it is quite possible this is a strategic stake. The businesses may be similar, or work together. It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand Tamboran Resources better, we need to consider many other factors. For instance, we've identified 4 warning signs for Tamboran Resources (3 are concerning) that you should be aware of. If you are like me, you may want to think about whether this company will grow or shrink. Luckily, you can check this free report showing analyst forecasts for its future. NB: Figures in this article are calculated using data from the last twelve months, which refer to the 12-month period ending on the last date of the month the financial statement is dated.

Companies Like Tamboran Resources (ASX:TBN) Could Be Quite Risky
We can readily understand why investors are attracted to unprofitable companies. For example, biotech and mining exploration companies often lose money for years before finding success with a new treatment or mineral discovery. But while history lauds those rare successes, those that fail are often forgotten; who remembers So should Tamboran Resources (ASX:TBN) shareholders be worried about its cash burn? In this article, we define cash burn as its annual (negative) free cash flow, which is the amount of money a company spends each year to fund its growth. Let's start with an examination of the business' cash, relative to its cash burn. See our latest analysis for Tamboran Resources A company's cash runway is calculated by dividing its cash hoard by its cash burn. As at December 2024, Tamboran Resources had cash of US$59m and no debt. Looking at the last year, the company burnt through US$95m. That means it had a cash runway of around 7 months as of December 2024. Notably, analysts forecast that Tamboran Resources will break even (at a free cash flow level) in about 4 years. That means unless the company reduces its cash burn quickly, it may well look to raise more cash. You can see how its cash balance has changed over time in the image below. Tamboran Resources didn't record any revenue over the last year, indicating that it's an early stage company still developing its business. So while we can't look to sales to understand growth, we can look at how the cash burn is changing to understand how expenditure is trending over time. Over the last year its cash burn actually increased by 25%, which suggests that management are increasing investment in future growth, but not too quickly. However, the company's true cash runway will therefore be shorter than suggested above, if spending continues to increase. Clearly, however, the crucial factor is whether the company will grow its business going forward. So you might want to take a peek at how much the company is expected to grow in the next few years. Since its cash burn is moving in the wrong direction, Tamboran Resources shareholders may wish to think ahead to when the company may need to raise more cash. Companies can raise capital through either debt or equity. Commonly, a business will sell new shares in itself to raise cash and drive growth. By looking at a company's cash burn relative to its market capitalisation, we gain insight on how much shareholders would be diluted if the company needed to raise enough cash to cover another year's cash burn. Tamboran Resources has a market capitalisation of US$335m and burnt through US$95m last year, which is 28% of the company's market value. That's fairly notable cash burn, so if the company had to sell shares to cover the cost of another year's operations, shareholders would suffer some costly dilution. Tamboran Resources is not in a great position when it comes to its cash burn situation. Although we can understand if some shareholders find its increasing cash burn acceptable, we can't ignore the fact that we consider its cash runway to be downright troublesome. One real positive is that analysts are forecasting that the company will reach breakeven. After looking at that range of measures, we think shareholders should be extremely attentive to how the company is using its cash, as the cash burn makes us uncomfortable. On another note, we conducted an in-depth investigation of the company, and identified 4 warning signs for Tamboran Resources (3 are significant!) that you should be aware of before investing here. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere.
