Presentation Highlight | Chuditch: A Keystone Asset for Timor-Leste’s Offshore Gas Future

Andy Butler, CEO of Sunda Energy Plc, presented the strategic vision behind the Chuditch Gas Field, positioning it as a keystone asset in the next phase of Timor-Leste’s offshore gas development.

In his remarks, he underscored the national importance of Chuditch, not just as a gas resource, but as a catalyst for energy security, economic growth, and long-term value creation for Timor-Leste. The message was clear: Chuditch represents a new chapter of opportunity, driven by partnership, confidence in the subsurface, and belief in Timor-Leste’s offshore potential. A powerful statement of intent for the country’s growing gas future

From the Telegram folks. Tomorrow’s conference agenda includes a case study centred on Chuditch.

Case Study: Chuditch Gas Field Development - Strengthening LNG Supply for Export

* Establishment of infrastructure to support LNG exports, including integration with the Tibar Bay Port.

* Development of long-term contracts with LNG buyers in key markets such as ASEAN, Europe, and Australia.

* Partnerships with SundaGas Timor-Leste and international investors to drive project execution.

* Adoption of sustainable practices, including regular environmental impact assessments and compliance with ESG standards.

These are just any CLNs. These are M&S CLNs.

Burnt out but absolutely beaming. That’s a very good sign.

As was pointed out to me on Telegram, Horta’s words were, upon translation, “ Finder Energy’s Chuditch field” Surely an error but then again, wasn’t there a rumour floating around last week? You never know.

At the Timor-Leste Oil and Petroleum Summit in Dili, President of the Republic, J. Ramos-Horta reaffirmed the country's firm commitment to bring the Greater Sunrise gas pipeline onshore, describing it as a strategic imperative for the country's industrial development.

At the same time, the Head of State expressed strong support for continued hydrocarbon exploration, citing positive progress with the Chuditch and Finder Energy field, which is on track for production in 2027, to ensure the flow of revenues needed to finance national development.

It seems inconceivable now that the field won’t be developed but Woodside still needing more before finally agreeing to TLNG and we know TL will not change their position. Almost there.

It’s brilliant because the development of Greater Sunrise will bring certainty to the future commercial development of the Chuditch field. Vital for investors and putting Sunda in a strong position to sell the field. Only uncertainty is a final decision on location.

Negotiations are at an early, early, just starting, haven’t even sat down yet stage.

The latest agreement between Timor-Leste and Woodside Energy, signed on November 22, 2025, is a Cooperation Agreement for the joint technical, commercial, and regulatory assessment of a future Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility in Timor-Leste.

This agreement is a significant step towards advancing the long-delayed Greater Sunrise gas project, but it is a framework for further studies, not a final investment decision on the project's development concept.

You did. Although I wouldn’t agree he was sending out bullish stuff. The opposite at times.

I’ve emailed AB

I can’t see AB allowing it.

“ Separately and not from conference - I understand DD is ongoing with a few parties re a farmnout. I’ve made my views clear on this in that they would likely be keft with 10-15pc. However I also understand that a farmnout on similar terms couples with an interest bearing loan note with the state oil company to be repaid post appraisal on a refinancing is also a possibility.”

The environmental permit requires assessing a specific rig to be employed in drilling the site. So a permit would mean a rig is contracted.
