Operating Leases
The Group’s operating lease activities consist of leases for office premises and modular buildings at the camp pad
site.
In August 2025, the Group entered into a lease arrangement with Northern Transportables for the hire of modular
buildings and related equipment (the “Stage 1 and 2 Hire of Goods”). The term of the lease arrangement is seventeen
months, with an option to further renew the lease (as needed).
Under the lease arrangement with Northern Transportables, the Group leased additional bunkhouses and
accommodation verandahs (the “Stage 3 Hire of Goods”) commencing from October 2025. The lease has a non-cancellable
minimum term of seven months with an option to further renew the lease (as needed). In line with the lease term for the
Stage 1 and 2 Hire of Goods (see above), the initial lease term for the Stage 3 Hire of Goods was determined to be fifteen
months. In February 2026, the lease was remeasured resulting in a reduction of the lease term to eleven months since
inception to align with the expected completion of the SPCF and a prospective reduction in lease payments for the next
four months to align with the number of beds in use of Stage 3. This resulted in a $0.2 million reduction in the operating
lease ROU asset with a corresponding reduction in operating lease liability. As of September 30, 2026, the lease term for 
the Stage 3 Hire of Goods has expired.
The Group also has operating leases primarily for the use of office space in various states and territories across
Australia under non-cancellable lease agreements which expire between 2027 and 2030. Certain of these arrangements
have free rent, escalating rent payment provisions, lease renewal options, and tenant allowances.
Finance Leases
On September 9, 2022, Sweetpea Petroleum Pty Ltd (“Sweetpea”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tamboran, entered
into a drilling contract with Helmerich & Payne International Holdings LLC (“H&P”) for H&P to assist the Group in
carrying out its onshore drilling operations in Australia. The drilling contract grants Tamboran the right to use the drilling
rig from H&P over the initial non-cancellable contract term of 25 months starting from July 1, 2023. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Group has the right to place the drilling rig on a temporary suspension rate between wells for a period up to
270 days (the “Gap Period”). For each day of the original Gap Period consumed, and subsequent suspension periods
negotiated, additional days are added to the fixed minimum term. As of September 30, 2026, the end date of the drilling
contract for the current rig is March 2028 (inclusive of additional days). The drilling contract is recognized as a finance
lease under ASC 842 (“H&P Rig Lease”).
The present value of the minimum future obligations was calculated based on an interest rate of 15.9% per annum,
which was recognized in finance lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
