They never left the area and more than aware of the history
Santos and the Korean's took over Bayu from Conoco Phillips who also
built and operated the pipeline , until more recently
The World knows about Shell/Conoco/Woodside Greater Sunrise (inc Troubadour condensate field
250mb) saga for 20 years
Mobil discovered Kelp Deep same year as Shell drilled Chuditch, K.D. as big as both the other
two put together at and estimated 14 TCF (1998)
The industry knows how prolific , the Indonesian and Australian waters of the Timor Sea have
been since the mid 1970's, while the TL area has stagnated with massive fields of stranded Gas
while still relatively unexplored over its entire 50,000 sq km area......more monsters lurking !
The only thing that is needed, is clarity from the Island , that other developments are not
tied to their long term plans of ALL comes to Beaco and Bettano on the Island.
Gusmao when PM , actually stood up in parliament and declared that a DECREE LAW......
Sept 2021, while we (Sundagas) where talking FPSO, the Island announced new studies
for Beaco , which stated coordinated development of , CHUDITCH, Sunrise and Kelp to
feed Beaco together on commission of the plant.........
Clarity and things written in blood, is what the sector want to see, before committing
hundreds of millions to such large projects.........
The 3 majors at Sunrise spent over $400m in development, had a psc , only to be told
NO to its 2001 for 2003 Darwin plan and then again in 2008 Shell Super Barge FLNG
So they departed as did many others.......
Only the Island can wake the area back up and what better way than , like with the
non TENDER award of Chuditch and showcase of Sundagas to set the ball rolling
for their own industry.
Use them once more, with a PERMIT and Domestic Gas contract, dog and pony
to finally give clarity..........options will be permitted.......we are skint......help !
