Tamboran Resources Corp (NYSE American: TBN) is an upstream natural gas exploration and development company focused on unconventional shale gas resources in the Beetaloo Basin of Australia's Northern Territory. The company has generated zero revenue from natural gas production since inception, as operations remain in the exploration drilling phase aimed at testing commercial viability (FY2025 10-K, filed 2025-09-25). Tamboran reported a net loss of $39.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $23.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2024, with total operating costs of $39.3 million in FY2025. The company's stated path to revenue involves three phases: initial gas sales into the Northern Territory market, connection to Australia's East Coast gas grid via a planned approximately 1,000-mile pipeline with APA Group, and eventual LNG export to Asian markets. Tamboran was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on October 3, 2023, following a corporate reorganization effective December 13, 2023, which made it the parent of Tamboran Resources Limited.
