This week, I spent a few days in the Beetaloo Basin in the Northern Territory where Origin has recommenced exploration activity and will shortly start drilling the first of two exploration wells to test for the presence of liquids-rich gas. We’re in the final stages of preparation for the first of these new wells, with the drilling rig arriving from Western Australia, the well-pad almost complete and the workers camp also set up on site.
It was great to meet with one of our host pastoralist families and spend time with them to learn more about their business and how we can work productively alongside them.
If our exploration and appraisal work show there’s a viable resource, it’s a project we believe could be transformational for the Northern Territory, our host pastoralists and Native Title holders as well as the Territory economy more broadly by way of more jobs and business opportunities, as well as the community in the form of royalty payments back to the Territory government. We’re excited to be back on the ground.
