Tellurian Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian) (NASDAQ: TELL) continues to build its integrated global natural gas business. Notable Tellurian achievements during the second quarter of 2020 and thereafter included raising $57.5 million in net proceeds through issuances of common stock. Pro forma cash and cash equivalents as of quarter end would be approximately $122.9 million after giving effect to financing transactions executed during July.

President and CEO Meg Gentle said, “Tellurian has used the last few months to streamline Driftwood LNG, which is one of the lowest cost projects available globally at approximately $1,000 per tonne. Driftwood LNG is an integrated project, including production of low-cost gas from the Haynesville shale, which supports a new U.S. LNG pricing mechanism projected to enable equity partners to load LNG at about $3.50 per mmBtu. Tellurian continues working to secure equity partners from around the globe and looks forward to delivering reliable energy in 2024.”
