July 30 (Reuters) - Beetaloo Energy Australia (BTL.AX) said on Thursday it had signed a non-binding agreement with oilfield services firm Halliburton (HAL.N) to help advance a proposed gas-to-power and data centre development in Australia's Northern Territory.
Halliburton will provide technical expertise to assess and develop gas resources for Beetaloo Digital, a project focused on supplying power to hyperscale data centres and AI infrastructure, centred on a 185-hectare site at Weddell near Darwin.

Beetaloo Energy said Halliburton could contribute expertise in field development, drilling, project execution and scalable gas-fired power generation.
Beetaloo Energy Chief Executive Alex Underwood described the agreement as another step in building a group of specialist partners across gas supply, power generation, pipelines and data-centre development.
The project is based on gas resources in the Beetaloo Basin and remains subject to concept studies, partner agreements, financing and regulatory approvals, the company said.
