The Schedule 13D filed on February 27, 2017 (the “ Schedule 13D ”), by TOTAL S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“ Total Holdings ”), and TOTAL Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Total Delaware ” and, together with Total Holdings, the “ Reporting Persons ”), relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of Tellurian Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Issuer ”), is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below by this Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

On May 10, 2017, Total Delaware and the Issuer (formerly known as Magellan Petroleum Corporation “ Magellan ”) entered into a pre-emptive rights agreement (the “ Pre-emptive Rights Agreement ”). The Pre-emptive Rights Agreement was entered into pursuant to the Guaranty and Support Agreement, dated as of January 3, 2017, by and between Total Delaware and Magellan.

Under the Pre-emptive Rights Agreement, the Issuer agreed to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to provide Total Delaware with advance written notice of any proposed offering of the Issuer’s equity securities (including any securities or rights convertible into the Issuer’s equity securities, collectively, “ Securities ”), other than an Excepted Offering (as defined in the Pre-emptive Rights Agreement). Prior to or in connection with the consummation of any offering of Securities (any such offering, an “ Offering ”), other than an Excepted Offering or an at-the-market offering of Securities (an “ ATM Offering ”), the Issuer will promptly notify Total Delaware of the terms of such Offering (the “ Offering Notice ”), and Total Delaware will have a right to purchase Securities of the kind offered in such Offering on the following terms:

(a)

Total Delaware will be entitled to purchase such Securities up to such aggregate amount as would permit Total Delaware to maintain the same pro rata equity ownership percentage in the Issuer it had immediately prior to the consummation of such Offering (based upon Total Delaware’s fully diluted equity ownership percentage in the Issuer immediately prior to the consummation of such Offering).

(b)

In the event the Offering is conducted as a registered public offering, Total Delaware will be entitled to purchase such Securities at the public offering price for such Offering. In the event the Offering is conducted as a private placement, Total Delaware will be entitled to purchase such Securities at the same price that was paid by the purchasers of Securities in such Offering.

(c)

Total Delaware will have seven calendar days from the date of its receipt of the Offering Notice to elect to purchase, and to fully fund the purchase, of any such Securities. If Total Delaware does not elect to purchase any Securities and/or does not provide immediately available funds for the purchase of such Securities to the Issuer within such seven calendar day period, Total Delaware’s rights to purchase such Securities will terminate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Issuer conducts an ATM Offering, the Issuer will not be required to provide Total Delaware with advance notice of any such offering; provided , however , that the Issuer will be required to offer (an “ ATM Offer ”) Total Delaware the opportunity to purchase Securities of the kind offered in such ATM Offering on a quarterly basis up to such aggregate amount as would enable Total Delaware to maintain the same pro rata equity ownership percentage in the Issuer it had immediately prior to the later of (i) the commencement of such ATM Offering, and (ii) the completion or expiration of the last ATM Offer made by the Issuer to Total Delaware in connection with such ATM Offering, on the following terms:

(a)

The ATM Offer will be made in writing to Total Delaware promptly (and no later than ten business days) following the end of each calendar quarter during which any Securities were sold pursuant to an ATM Offering.

(b)

Total Delaware will be entitled to purchase such Securities at price equal to the volume weighted average price at which Securities were sold pursuant to such ATM Offering over the immediately preceding three month period.

(c)

Total Delaware will have seven calendar days from the date of its receipt of the ATM Offer to elect to purchase, and to fully fund the purchase, of any such Securities. If Total Delaware does not elect to purchase any Securities and/or does not provide immediately available funds for the purchase of such Securities to the Issuer within such seven calendar day period, Total Delaware’s rights to purchase such Securities will terminate.

Total Delaware’s rights and the Issuer’s obligations under the Pre-emptive Rights Agreement will terminate on such date that Total Delaware’s pro rata fully diluted equity ownership percentage in the Issuer is less than 10%.

The description of the Pre-emptive Rights Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Pre-emptive Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
