RE: Tamboran - MOU signed with Jemena, securing access to the Northern Gas Pipeline for the proposed 1004 Jul 2022 13:26
I'm expecting more news at the AGM on the jv's drilling programme in the Beetaloo in 2H 2022. For us, Origin sets the tone and Origin as an organisation (thankfully) is not in the same category as Empire or Tamboran. Like it or not therefore don't expect FOG to issue press releases bragging it's going to solve all Australia's energy problems by 2025 latest until it has further drilling successes down the line.
Personally I wouldn't invest in Tamboran at this time. They have not sorted out yet their royalty issues. They've fallen out with Santos and right now they are rolling their dice on their aptly named Maverick well. Notwithstanding that, I still follow the stock closely because any drilling success they might have with their 'super' team of world experts will be almost immediately reflected in the FOG share price. The same is also the case with Empire.
The Market understands fully the similarity of the properties in all four areas where Origin/FOG, Empire, Tamboran and Tamboran/Santos are drilling. Dry and wet gas is clearly prevalent. That's been proven. What the prospectors must now show is that this area can be commercially developed ....and any one of them has a chance now of proving this in the next 12-18 months or even sooner for the benefit of all of them......and when this happens there is no doubt whatsoever that FOG/Origin with 4.6 million acres will be big winners in the group
