Beetaloo Energy CEO Alex Underwood signing the MOU with Halliburton COO, Shannon Slocum.
The agreement represents another step in Beetaloo Energy's plan to assemble a coalition of
specialist parties across upstream gas supply, power generation, pipeline infrastructure, and
data centre development. The project is anchored by Beetaloo Energy's Beetaloo Basin gas
resource and a recently secured 185-hectare site at Weddell, near Darwin. Halliburton expects to
provide expertise in upstream field development, integrated drilling services, and project
execution.
"Following the Northern Territory Government's decision to grant us exclusivity over the
Weddell site, we are committed to building a world-class consortium capable of delivering this
opportunity," said Alex Underwood, CEO of Beetaloo Energy. "We are pleased to announce this
MOU with Halliburton. The company brings a proven track record in oilfield services,
engineering execution, and collaborative solutions, making it a valuable potential participant in
the project."
Beetaloo Digital plans to generate new power capacity for the Northern Territory rather than
draw from the existing grid. By intentionally building excess generation capacity, the project
could provide a reliable, large-scale source of baseload electricity while supporting the rapid
growth of data centres and AI infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Hyperscale data centres and AI facilities operate continuously, creating durable and predictable
demand. That demand profile supports long-term field development, accelerates upstream
investment, and positions Beetaloo Digital as a potential large-scale, sustained cash flow
generator for Beetaloo Energy,” concluded Underwood.
The proposed project remains subject to concept studies, consortium formation, financing, and
applicable government and regulatory approvals.
