Carpentaria Progress

Beetaloo Energy’s Carpentaria Pilot Project remains the company’s near-term focus, with first appraisal gas sales targeted for Q4 2026.

The project is supported by a binding 10-year Gas Sales Agreement with the Northern Territory Government, providing a pathway for gas Supply during the pilot phase.

The company’s Carpentaria Project is designed to utilise its 100%-owned Carpentaria Gas Plant to process appraisal gas and support initial commercialisation activities.

Beetaloo Energy said the project is targeting gas sales of up to 25TJ/day during the pilot phase, with sales expected to increase during 2027.

Flow Test Results

The company highlighted results from the Carpentaria-5H well, which delivered encouraging results during its IP30 flow test.

Carpentaria-5H achieved a peak gas flow rate of more than 14TJ/day and a 30-day average flow rate of 6.9TJ/day, with the company reporting a low rate of decline and improving gas-to-water ratio.

The well was drilled with a 2,955-metre horizontal section and completed with 67 fracture stages.

Beetaloo Energy said five wells have been drilled across the project area, with Carpentaria-2H, Carpentaria-3H and Carpentaria-5H planned to be tied into the Carpentaria Gas Plant.

Resource Position

Beetaloo Energy highlighted its substantial position within the Beetaloo Basin, with approximately 3 million net effective acres containing more than 46 TCFe of 2U prospective gas resource and more than 1.6 TCF of 2C contingent gas resource.

The company said its acreage position provides exposure to domestic gas markets and potential Asian LNG Demand through existing and planned infrastructure pathways.

The company’s Western Beetaloo area contains more than 20 TCF of gas resource potential, with seismic Acquisition completed in Q3 2026 across EP167 and EP168.

The seismic program covered 236 kilometres of seismic lines and was designed to support future horizontal drilling, improve reservoir understanding and assist in defining future drilling inventory.

Commercial Pathway

Beetaloo Energy outlined a phased development strategy for its gas assets.

The first phase focuses on the Carpentaria Pilot Project, targeting up to 25TJ/day of gas supply and first Revenue in 2026.

The second phase involves a potential domestic gas project targeting approximately 200TJ/day supply, including potential integration with the Beetaloo Digital data centre opportunity.

The third phase focuses on full-field development targeting potential LNG supply opportunities.

The company said its acreage position, infrastructure access and gas resource base provide the foundation for these potential development pathways.

Infrastructure Development

Beetaloo Energy highlighted infrastructure initiatives supporting its commercialisation plans, including the Carpentaria Gas Plant and potential future pipeline connections.

The company has also progressed discussions with industry partners through non-binding memorandums of understanding.

Beetaloo Energy signed an MOU with Halliburton covering Upstream gas and power opportunities, including technical services, field development planning and potential modular gas-fired power solutions.

The company also signed an MOU with Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) relating to potential pipeline infrastructure connecting the Carpentaria Gas Project to future demand centres around Darwin.

The company noted that these agreements remain non-binding and future development is subject to technical studies, commercial agreements and regulatory approvals.

Beetaloo Digital

Another component of Beetaloo Energy’s strategy is the Beetaloo Digital opportunity, which aims to develop integrated gas, power and data centre infrastructure in Weddell, Northern Territory.

The Northern Territory Government has granted Beetaloo Energy exclusivity over 185 hectares of strategic land at Weddell.
