Overview

Tamboran is a development-stage shale-gas company built around a dominant acreage position in the Beetaloo Basin of Australia's Northern Territory, targeting domestic east-coast gas supply and longer-term LNG exports (NTLNG). It has effectively no proved reserves and negligible production; equity value rests on very large contingent resource and the appraisal/pilot programme rather than a booked NAV.

Dual-listed on the NYSE (from mid-2024) and ASX, the company is pre-revenue and burns cash on drilling, testing and infrastructure, funded chiefly by equity. FY2025 saw an operating loss of roughly US$39m and a net loss near US$37m. Key value catalysts are Shenandoah South pilot flow rates, the Sturt Plateau development, pipeline/gas-processing tie-ins, and progress toward a Darwin LNG export solution.

Its EV/EBITDA of -39.7x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of -13.4% is lower than the 6.5% median, and at $59.50/boe of proved reserves it is richer than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Tamboran Resources scores 42/100, strongest on safety (70/100). Sub-scores: value 30, quality 28, growth 50, risk 30 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Tamboran Resources holds approximately 0.02 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 3 thousand boe/d (0% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 18.3 years. Break-even: pre-production (Beetaloo shale-gas developer) — development-stage; value in large contingent resource, not proved reserves

Net asset value (public-source)

For Tamboran Resources, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
