Cattle station landholder Rallen Australia has taken leading natural gas supplier Santos to court for allegedly misleading stakeholders about the extent of their fracking operation in the Beetaloo Basin, situated between Tenant Creek and Katherine.

The two major Australian companies appeared in the Northern Territory (NT) Supreme Court on Monday, with Rallen accusing Santos of failing to adequately inform the landowners of an expansion of their fracking operation, which may prove environmentally risky, NT News reported.
