Beetaloo Energy has brought global oilfield services giant Halliburton into the fold for its ambitious Beetaloo Digital development in the Northern Territory, signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to advance the integrated gas-to-data centre project. The US-based giant’s role will likely cover everything from subsurface consulting and field development planning to integrated drilling services and project execution. Crucially, Halliburton also delivers the very scalable, modular gas-fired power solutions for hyperscale data centres and Ai infrastructure, making it a natural fit for Beetaloo’s vertically integrated vision. The Beetaloo Digital strategy aims to create a dedicated, new power source for data centres, rather than drawing from the existing Northern Territory grid, by utilising the vast resources trapped within the territories Beetaloo Basin. While the Beetaloo is closing in on becoming a gas producer, bringing a major heavyweight like Halliburton on board adds serious credibility to its downstream digital ambitions.
