Gas company Tamboran Resources has announced plans to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant almost as big as Inpex's Ichthys facility at Middle Arm in Darwin to export fracked gas from the Beetaloo Basin.

Tamboran is one of five companies the Northern Territory government has provided commitments to for land at its Middle Arm development.

The NT government has long labelled the precinct — which has received $1.5 billion in federal funding — a "sustainable development" focusing on renewable energy and manufacturing.

On Friday, Tamboran announced a proposal to build an export facility at the site, with an initial capacity of 6.6 million tonnes of LNG per year, and with the potential for expansion. 

Inpex's Ichthys plant, also at Middle Arm, has an annual LNG production capacity of up to 8.9 million tonnes.

Santos and Tamboran resources have drilled three wells on Tanumbirini Station. ()

Tamboran is working to develop a shale gas project in the Beetaloo Basin, 600 kilometres south-east of Darwin, but is yet to obtain production approvals.
