RE: Cabinet Meeting today - SUNRISE22 Nov 2025 10:24
Do not need FID at this stage , just need a commitment, they have chosen a mutually agreed site to develop, the process moves on, how will it be done, same as any project, the tenders for Sunrise on your facebook snippet , was now looking at 2032+
When split into two projects from Tasi Mane, the National Grid conversion to Gas via the PIT LNG/Gas Import facility "when gas becomes available" was quoted as wanted ASAP , Rauk in Parliament quoting would like ASAP or by 2026/27 when the quotes for Sunrise 2030, so it was never going to be Sunrise.
First gas available , is going to be Chuditch..........
The plan laid out by Rauk was in response to the compounding of covid with poor Grid stability , many, many outages and the cost and availability of Diesel. Expansion of the Grid to 100% coverage, more substations lines etc and the conversion of the Islands 3 power stations to GAS.
The latest budget , threw what was it $168m to complete the 100% GRID work, according to that National Emergency project, conversion to follow and again it won't be Sunrise, if still talking ASAP or 3-4 years before it would come on line if it ever did.......GLA
Chuditch drill's 2026, distance from Chuditch to Bayu-Natarbora about the same as the recently built 400m pipe Santos did for Barossa - Darwin, that took about 15 months, after all the legal's cleared over the Tiwi Islands protests.
Original statements by Boil now Sunda , was for Chuditch production by 2028, they could still do that and go to the Natarbora Import terminal initially with 1 or 2 wells. TL has its Domestic security plan done and duster, as promised by Parliament to the people, after the Island ravaged by storms on the back of covid.
Still on timelines way ahead of Sunrise 2nd pipeline to Natarbora Gas/LNG Exports terminal (up to 4 strings as required - original TM Plan)
