Exhibit 5.1
January 2, 2024
Board of Directors
Tellurian Inc.
1201 Louisiana Street, Suite 3100
Houston, Texas 77002
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to
Tellurian Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing by the Company of a prospectus
supplement dated January 2, 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), which supplements the registration statement on
Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-269069) (the “Registration Statement”)
filed by the Company on December 30, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including the base prospectus dated December 30, 2022 included
therein (together with the Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”), relating to the resale by the selling stockholder
named in the Prospectus Supplement (the “Selling Stockholder”) of up to 47,865,061 shares (the “Shares”)
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company issued pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated December 28, 2023
(the “Letter Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Selling Stockholder. At the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Letter Agreement, (i) $37,900,000 of the principal amount of the $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.00%
senior secured notes due 2025 (the “Senior Notes”) previously issued to the Selling Stockholder was extinguished, (ii) certain
terms of the indentures governing the $83,334,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior secured convertible notes due 2025 (the “Convertible
Notes,” and together with the Senior Notes, the “Notes”) previously issued to the Selling Stockholder and
the Senior Notes were amended, and (iii) the Company was deemed to have satisfied its obligations to make the cash interest payments
due in respect of the Notes on January 1, 2024.
We have examined originals
or certified copies of the Letter Agreement, the amendments to the supplemental indentures governing the Notes, the Notes, the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, and such corporate records of the Company, including certain resolutions of the board of directors of the
Company, and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for
purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of each natural person signing any document
reviewed by us, the authority of each person signing in a representative capacity (other than the Company) any document reviewed by us,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted
to us or filed with the SEC as conformed and certified or reproduced copies. In conducting our examination of documents, we have assumed
the power, corporate or other, of all parties thereto (other than the Company) to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and
have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the due execution and delivery by such parties
of such documents and that to the extent such documents purport to constitute agreements, such documents constitute valid and binding
obligations of such parties. As to any facts material to our opinion, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have
relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates of public officials and officers or other representatives of
the Company.
