Business Wire
Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian or the Company) (NYSE American: TELL)
announced today that it has closed the previously reported sale of
its integrated upstream assets for $260 million to affiliates of
Aethon Energy Management LLC (Aethon), fulfilling a key objective
outlined in May and substantially strengthening its balance sheet
as it advances the Driftwood liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.
The Company utilized proceeds from the sale to retire the $230
million of non-convertible Senior Secured Notes scheduled to mature
in 2025.
“With the retirement of the senior secured debt, Tellurian is in
a much-improved commercial position as we work to advance Driftwood
LNG,” said Tellurian President Daniel Belhumeur.
“As a private equity firm and operator, we are excited to
enhance our strategic footprint by integrating Tellurian's upstream
and midstream assets into our extensive Haynesville position,” said
Gordon Huddleston, President and Partner of Aethon Energy. “Our
goal is to generate compelling returns while supporting the
communities we operate in as we make progress towards providing net
zero natural gas to both domestic and international customers. We
continue to work with Tellurian on a long-term sale and purchase
agreement for two mtpa of LNG and believe in the many benefits that
low emission exports have for the broader energy transition.”
“This transaction is a significant step in securing our balance
sheet and progressing Driftwood,” added Tellurian Executive
Chairman Martin Houston. “The partnership between Aethon and
Tellurian is vital as we continue securing buyers for Driftwood’s
remaining capacity and advance its development. Our agreement
validates the role of U.S. LNG as the global transition fuel and in
providing energy security to America’s partners around the
world.”
