Beetaloo Sub-basin – Completion of the three-well batch drilling campaign by 2025

October 15, 2025 Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO,OTC:FOLGF, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce that Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited’s (“Falcon Australia”) joint venture partner Tamboran (B2) Pty Limited (collectively the “BJV Partners”) has successfully completed its three-well drilling campaign in 2025, the largest drilling program to date has ever been performed in the Beetaloo. Subbasin.

  • The three wells of the 2025 batch drilling campaign (Shenandoah South SS2-1H, SS2-3H and SS2-5H) are now being drilled, cased and suspended before stimulation, each with a 3,000 meter (10,000 foot) horizontal section.
  • The campaign was the first multi-well drilling program to implement batch drilling in the Beetaloo sub-basin.
  • The average drilling time to the target depth was 26.7 days, with the drilling and drilling time falling within the forecast of 35 days.
  • Modifications to the mud system and the use of vibration-damping drill bits led to greater drilling efficiency. This resulted in reaching ~1,000 meters drilled in one day in the SS2-1H well, the fastest horizontal section drilled to date in the Amungee Member B shale.
  • A stimulation of up to 60 stages over the entire 3,000-metre horizontal section of the SS2-5H well is now planned in the fourth quarter of 2025. A flow test is expected to be conducted for 30 days before closing before gas sales commence, which is expected to commence in mid-2026.
  • In the first half of 2026, three wells (including the second well of the 2024 drilling campaign) are expected to be stimulated prior to the start of gas sales.
  • All wells included in the Shenandoah South Pilot Project are expected to deliver the contracted volume of 40 MMcf/d required under the Gas Sales Agreement with the Northern Territory Government, subject to weather conditions and final stakeholder approval.
  • As previously announced, Falcon Australia has chosen to reduce its interest in the three wells drilled in 2025 to 0% at no cost.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon, commented:
“Tamboran has carried out a fantastic three-well drilling campaign, delivering three 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) horizontal wells. We now have 12,000 meters (40,000 feet) of horizontal sections due to receive fracture stimulation in the coming months. Once completed, these wells will connect to the gas gathering and compression facilities currently under construction at the Beetaloo, with the sale to the Government of the Northern Territory in the second half will begin. of 2026. We look forward to keeping shareholders informed during this next phase as the momentum in the Beetaloo continues to increase.”

Ends.
