TBF Ukraine sabotaged plenty of gas/oil pipelines up to this point. And no I am not talking non domestic pipelines if you know what I mean. Regardless it all adds to the mechanics behind a stronger global LNG market. And with the size of Chudditch...(chef kiss emoji with a side of irony).
Zelenskyy says Russian attack targeted energy facility 'crucial' to EU supply
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said this morning's Russian attack on Ukraine's energy sector had targeted gas facilities important for supply to the European Union.
The main target was the energy sector, various facilities in the industry, both electricity and gas transit facilities," he said in his nightly video address.
"In particular, those gas facilities that are crucial to ensuring safe delivery to the European Union."
Moscow earlier claimed its strikes were "in response to attempts by the Kyiv regime to damage Russian energy and industrial facilities".
From the earlier superb article from a reputable source.
"Significantly, the exciting opportunity is thought to have attracted interest from LNG investors. Baron Oil is seeking investors to back the relatively low-risk appraisal drilling campaign at the Chuditch gas field offshore East Timor. Possible suitors include Eni, Inpex, Santos, Petronas, and even Chinese national oil companies (NOCs), for the potential LNG project, as ENB reported last November."
Who do you fancy?
The well will now be situated 5.1km from the site of the original Chuditch-1 discovery well in a water depth of 68m. Based on 3D seismic mapping and the results of Chuditch-1, the planned vertical appraisal well drilled at this new location is expected to encounter gas-charged reservoirs 16m shallower than at the initial location and, as a result, SundaGas now predicts a taller 149m gas column in the reservoir target versus 133m predicted at the initial location.
Drilling Planning Preparations
In parallel to the recent Site Survey operations, drilling planning has continued at a good pace. SundaGas' experienced in-house drill team has further refined the well design, enabling the process of tendering for essential materials that have long procurement times such as well casing to have commenced. Design work on a Chuditch-2 well test (DST) is ongoing, led by SundaGas' well test engineer.
SundaGas is in discussions with drilling rig contractors and other third-party service providers in support of well construction plans. The Company is also liaising closely with other operators in the region that are expected to drill wells in locations relatively nearby.
Detailed workshops are being held on a regular basis with joint venture partner TIMOR GAP and government regulator ANP, whose input to operational and logistical planning is continuing to prove invaluable.
SundaGas and its joint venture partner TIMOR GAP are working on resources to ensure successful delivery of the upcoming Chuditch-2 appraisal drilling campaign. Discussions with a number of potential funding partners are ongoing and further announcements will be made at the appropriate time.
Should know by June 19th if the have secured a rig.
Baron is currently party to other Farm-Out and funding discussions which are ongoing and where progress continues. In addition, the Directors believe that it is an opportune moment to re-invigorate Baron's Chuditch Farm-Out programme, emphasising government validation, partial funding from the Farm-Up and operational progress, in order to add impetus to other funding discussions. The Directors believe that Baron's large remaining interest in the PSC is attractive to various types of potential Farm-Out and funding partners.

Shell previously collected an enormous amount of technical data on the find. This covered everything from coring to running all sorts of logs that give Sunda a good basis of understanding. But Shell did not test it. They drilled in 1998, when there was no gas infrastructure and nothing like the gas markets today. Therefore, Shell, which was hoping for an oil discovery, let it go. “For us it’s a much more interesting commercial opportunity today,” he said.
“It’s a good discovery and it’s the same plover reservoir system you see in everything from Bayu Undan to Abadi, going through Barossa and Sunrise. The reservoirs encountered by the Chuditch well are very good. We are confident of very good flow rates,” added Butler.
To avoid confusion i'm referring to this one dated todays date 26/04/2024.

Its a new article dated 26th April. It was released today. ENB are very reputable outfit and well regarded in the O&G sector so when they say the super majors are interested it isn't to be taken lightly.
I always give credit to people who post links on here I didn't this time because it had already been posted in the telegram group on the 18th April.

Baron Oil is seeking investors to back a relatively low-risk appraisal drilling campaign at the Chuditch gas field offshore East Timor. Possible suitors include Eni, Inpex, Santos, Petronas, and even Chinese national oil companies (NOCs), for the potential LNG project. Significantly, the field, discovered by Shell in 1998, is expected to be larger than initially thought, following modern seismic interpretation work, Baron Oil told Energy News in a recent interview. The mean contingent resource is now estimated at 1.16 trillion cubic feet (cf) for Chuditch, up from around 700 billion cf previously. Adjacent prospects offer an additional 2.1 trillion cf of prospective resource potential. Baron expects to drill a Chuditch-2 appraisal well in late 2024, subject to drill financing. "We have several discussions with various parties for financing and we are working on all aspects of funding. However, we are very confident that we will drill, hence preparations are already underway," Andy Butler, Sunda Gas, told Energy News.

The Chuditch PSC expires next month and extending another year into 2024 will require the operator to commit to drilling an appraisal well, which could easily cost US$25 million to US$30 million, Robert Chambers, an APAC-focused upstream energy expert, told Energy News. Funding the drilling could prove challenging for Baron, so an ideal solution would be a farm-in partner, who could carry them through this period, added Chambers. Baron have set out several potential developments for Chuditch and the other prospects in the PSC. Commercialising the gas will require access to an LNG liquefaction facility, be this a floating LNG(FLNG) plant at the field, a new onshore LNG plant in East Timor, or the gaining of access to existing or expansion LNG trains in Darwin, such as Santos' Darwin LNG or Inpex's Ichthys LNG. Of these, the standalone FLNG solution is likely to present the quickest path to first gas, added Chambers. "Based on Baron's resource estimates, a standalone FLNG development around the 2 million tonnes per year (t/y) scale would certainly be commercial in today's LNG price environment," noted Chambers. Moreover, "the new government in Timor Leste is very focused on accelerating oil and gas development and understands the positive impact that the revenues could have on the country's economic future. Timor-Leste has seen positive signs, with a successful 2022 bid round seeing blocks awarded to Santos and Eni," he added. "It is likely that any investor would require experience in the LNG space and, ideally, the experience and patience to navigate the above-ground challenges. This would put companies such as Eni or INPEX into prime position. Santos could also be included on this list, but will likely be focused on solving their development challenges at Barossa. Other options could include PETRONAS for their FLNG expertise or the Chinese NOCs," said Chambers.

LNG opportunity attracts attention. Marc Howson, Head of Asia at Welligence Energy Analytics, told Energy News that "Chuditch is a significant shallow-water discovered gas resource, located near several gas-short Southeast Asian
markets. It therefore does attract attention from investors willing to consider taking appraisal risk on a project likely to start up by 2030." "Potentially interested investors include FLNG infrastructure companies, who would consider taking
upstream exposure and would help progress the development with technical expertise as well as funding. Private energy-focused investors, with medium-term investment horizons, are also likely to be interested in Chuditch," added Howson. "Assuming a new investor contributes towards drilling costs, we expect an appraisal well to be drilled on Chuditch in late-2024, followed by potentially another appraisal well in 2025. If successful, the operator could take FID on a Chuditch FLNG project in 2026, before first gas/LNG production by 2030," said Howson.

Chuditch could supply around 300 million cubic feet per day of feedgas into a 2 million t/y FLNG vessel by 2030, with carbon dioxide (CO2) stored through carbon capture and storage (CCS), noted Howson. "We understand Chuditch's gas contains around 18% CO2 and the CO2 will either be injected into the Chuditch reservoir as CCS, or exported to Bayu Undan CCS," he added. Welligence expects Asian LNG prices to exceed US$9/MMbtu in 2030, which, supported by Chuditch's location close to several LNG-importing markets, incentivises the development. Regardless of the development route taken, the end goal remains the same—the lucrative Asian LNG markets. "So, teaming up with investors who have expertise in FLNG developments makes the most sense for potential joint venture partners. The Asian LNG buyers tend to pick up equity near FID when a project is more concrete," Krishan Pal Birda, product manager Australasia Oil & Gas Solutions at Rystad Energy, told Energy News. "The other challenge is the 18% CO2 content in the reservoir which the operator plans to either reinject or export to the planned Bayu-Undan CCS. Adding this cost of carbon abatement to FLNG's cost and complexity could potentially challenge the economics of the project if the resource is not big enough. So, we'll have a lot more clarity on this after the appraisal drilling," said Birda.

Low risk investment?
Some of the geological risk should be reduced as Baron's proposed drilling is an appraisal of a discovered resource, Angus Rodger, a senior upstream analyst at research company Wood Mackenzie told Energy News. "If the well is drilled, it will also flow-test the reservoir - which didn't happen with the original discovery -which will give us a greater understanding of the field's commerciality. However, one risk will be CO2 content though, as high levels of contaminants will be problematic," added Rodger. "This is a large equity stake and capital exposure for a small-cap explorer, and so it
will likely want to dilute that stake and bring in farm-in partners to defray costs," noted Rodger. "The good news is that because this is an appraisal of a discovered resource, potential partners will not feel like they are being exposed to frontier exploration risk. Plus, there is still healthy levels of appetite for exploration in the region - recent licensing and drilling success stories in nearby Indonesia and Malaysia is testament to that," he said. However, the key here is the value creation narrative. "Most modern oil and gas exploration is laser-focusedon finding resources that can be brought to market within a short timeframe to enhance returns. Asia-Pacific has many large, stranded gas resources, including Chuditch, that have struggled to find commercial routes to market for many decades. Greenfield development in a frontier area like East Timor will take time, therefore any fast-track commercial solutions that could bring this gas on relatively quickly, such as utilising existing infrastructure, will create a more attractive investment thesis," cautioned Rodger.

exciting opportunity attracts lng investors off east timor baron oil is seeking investors to back a relatively low-risk appraisal drilling campaign at the chuditch gas field offshore east timor. possible suitors include eni, inpex, santos,
petronas, and even chinese national oil companies (nocs), for the potential lng project.
peter ****roft, an oil and gas expert, that has advised east timor, also known as timor leste, for decades, told energy news that "chuditch would be a very important project if it works and there should be more focus on it. "if successful, it could improve the economics for the whole of timor leste, in terms of national revenues and improving the economics for the development of greater sunrise." "chuditch could move quickly if successfully appraised. if chuditch expands and gets bigger, a pipeline could be laid connecting it to the undeveloped greater sunrise fields operated by woodside energy, whichenhances the economics" added ****roft. the timorese aspire to develop the greater sunrise field, to the north of chuditch, via a greenfield lng export facility onshore east timor. however, there are some complexities around that, in terms of getting the gas to the island of timor due to the deep water between the fields and the coastline. the operator of greater sunrise, woodside energy, has long claimed the economics do not stack up to develop the fields onshore east timor. however, if more gas is discovered in the vicinity of the greater sunrise, then the economics could be improved.
No biggie ED, said long ago , I only post here , do not do twitter or the rest anymore , so have at it , spread the good word to all and sundry 😂🤣😂
But your right , those days have long gone, back in the day , scientists thought our Sun was the centre of the Universe, now we have half the planet , that thinks they are the centre of the universe and all revolves around them 😂🤣😂
Reality TV , what a fcuk ed up bunch of role models that brings, for them to aspire to be , paid loads to be laughed at and do not have two to rub together to realise it, no wonder half the world is grey cell limited, with a, I thunk therefore I must be a genius disorder.

No Eddie that isn't the reason. It's because i didn't scroll down to check. You can think what you like though.
Well it is the reason though, and im guilty of it too. Jarvy copied VT's link to TG and didn't credit him, if she had of, you would of known it came from LSE, you took it from TG and posted it on LSE not knowing it came from LSE originally.
thus, it happened because we have forgotten about the the politeness of giving credit and as i said, i hold my hands up to doing it myself, we are all human after all, and likely because we lead busy lives.
They are still only well heeled pi trades at these prices , last big run , we had many £75-£100k+ and a whopping £364k trades , our resident spread man (our TR1 IG stuff) Rob B, would often call his £40k - £60k trades early doors, before they turned up in the 1700-1730 XOFF spreads Trade drop.
Even dog of the decade , ukog had 3 for £2m , back on its legendary floor to kiss 12p (whole pence rise) , see some real big trades and we know its on , like DK. 😜🤑 GLALTH
