en.Wedoany.com Reported - Falcon Oil & Gas announced that the Shenandoah SS2-1H well in the Beetaloo Sub-basin of Australia's Northern Territory achieved an average daily gas production rate of 10.3 million cubic feet during a 20-day production test. Conducted over a 2632-meter horizontal section, this test marks a significant step towards commercial production. Falcon holds a 22.5% working interest in the well through its Australian subsidiary, with partner Tamboran B2 holding the remaining 77.5%.

During the test, the flowing wellhead pressure dropped from 4499 pounds per square inch to 582 pounds per square inch, and the gas production rate decreased from a peak of 15.9 million cubic feet per day to 8.8 million cubic feet per day at the end. The normalized gas production rate for a simulated 10,000-foot section was 11.9 million cubic feet per day. The operator compared this performance to the long-term performance of US shale wells. Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon Oil & Gas, stated, "Today's announced IP20 gas rate result of 10.3 million cubic feet per day represents another positive step forward in our journey towards commercial production. As more results become available, we look forward to updating the market."

The IP20 result is based on stimulation operations completed in December 2025, involving 57 perforation clusters within the Amungee Member B-Shale interval. Wellbore obstructions affected 8 clusters and the toe section (totaling 397.7 meters). The remaining 49 clusters (totaling 2632 meters) participated in the test, cumulatively producing 205.6 million cubic feet of gas. The test was intentionally shortened to minimize flaring and emissions and to preserve reservoir energy prior to connection to the Sturt Plateau compression facility.

The operator plans to stimulate the Shenandoah South 3H, 4H, and 5H wells in the second quarter of 2026, with production and gas sales expected to commence in the third quarter of 2026. Falcon Australia has reduced its participation interest in the 2025 wells to 0% and bears no associated costs. Ownership of the two drilling spacing units (totaling 46,080 acres) for the Shenandoah South pilot project, pending further completion, is held 5% by Falcon Oil & Gas Australia and 95% by Tamboran B2.
