Government
23 April 2024 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV:
FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce that the Beetaloo Joint
venture (BJV) has signed a Binding Agreement for a long-term Gas
Sales Agreement (GSA) to supply the Northern Territory Government
(Buyer) with 14.6 PJ (13.8 BCF) per annum from the proposed
Shenandoah South Pilot Project for an initial term of nine years,
with a Buyer’s option to extend for a further six-and-a-half
years.
Details of the Binding Agreement are as
follows:
-
Gas will be delivered to the APA-owned Amadeus Gas Pipeline (AGP)
on a take-or-pay basis at a market-competitive gas price,
escalating at 100% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Buyer’s
extension option is at a slightly discounted price.
-
The Agreement is a binding supply commitment conditional on the BJV
entering into a binding Gas Transportation Agreement with APA on
the proposed Sturt Plateau Pipeline, a binding Gas Processing
Agreement for the proposed Sturt Plateau Compression Facility,
reaching a Final Investment Decision (FID) on upstream drilling
activity and receiving all necessary approvals to proceed with
these projects.
-
The BJV is targeting FID on the proposed 40 TJ (38,000 MCF/D) per
day upstream drilling program in mid-2024, subject to securing
funding and key regulatory and stakeholder approvals. First gas
flow is planned for H1 2026.
-
Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited holds a 5% working interest
in the 51,200-acre area that will include the wells required to
deliver the proposed Pilot Project volumes.
Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon
commented:
“This is a significant development for Beetaloo Joint Venture, and
represents a major milestone and puts the Beetaloo Joint Venture on
a path where revenue from gas sales will support funding our future
development phases, including supply to the East Coast and LNG gas
markets.”

This information is based on current expectations that are subject
to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to
predict. The risks, assumptions and other factors that could
influence actual results include risks associated with fluctuations
in market prices for shale gas; risks related to the exploration,
development and production of shale gas reserves; general economic,
market and business conditions; substantial capital requirements;
uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and
resources; extent of, and cost of compliance with, government laws
and regulations and the effect of changes in such laws and
regulations; the need to obtain regulatory approvals before
development commences; environmental risks and hazards and the cost
of compliance with environmental regulations; aboriginal claims;
inherent risks and hazards with operations such as mechanical or
pipe failure, cratering and other dangerous conditions; potential
cost overruns, drilling wells is speculative, often involving
significant costs that may be more than estimated and may not
result in any discoveries; variations in foreign exchange rates;
competition for capital, equipment, new leases, pipeline capacity
and skilled personnel; the failure of the holder of licenses,
leases and permits to meet requirements of such; changes in royalty
regimes; failure to accurately estimate abandonment and reclamation
costs; inaccurate estimates and assumptions by management and their
joint venture partners; effectiveness of internal controls; the
potential lack of available drilling equipment; failure to obtain
or keep key personnel; title deficiencies; geo-political risks; and
risk of litigation.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of
important factors is not exhaustive and that these factors and
risks are difficult to predict. Actual results might differ
materially from results suggested in any forward-looking
