Hoping that is not the case, the recent MOU for us to go to the Island via Bayu, imo a clear message, to Woodside and OZ, they are going ahead with Natarbora , with or without them.
Since 2002 , have been 2 projects on the books, not just the be all and end all of Sunrise and Exports, as posted many times, still believe Sundagas relationship with TL (long before Boil/Sunda Energy arrived) which saw them given Chuditch NON TENDER as a reward for 4 years assisting TL build its own industry entities like T/Gap ANPM and still assist and give training to this day.
Has AB and Colin positioned in the midst of all TL is doing and again will be rewarded, with the offtake to supply TL's domestic Gas/LNG imports terminal, which was to be Beaco, then Metinaro and now appears all roads lead to Natarbora.
That plan has always been around 5 years in advance of Sunrise production, back then 2030 ,latest tenders Sunrise 2032-2034. AB has reiterated the plan is Chuditch in production around 2028. Time line still fits for those long standing TL plans.
Outgoing PM Rauk in 2021 promised the people , the STABLE Electricity for all was to be done ASAP as soon as GAS is available (always taken as when their OWN gas available = Chuditch) he stripped the Gas/LNG Import terminal away from the Beaco Tasi Mane Plans, implementing Metinaro (see TG Web) stating he hoped that ASAP would be 2025/2026. At the time Sunrise was down for 2030 (so not it)
Appears Gusmao back in charge has put it all back together at Natarbora, scrapping Beaco Gas/LNG exports , Metinaro Gas/LNG Import (Domestic plan) and Betano Oil and Condensate/Petrochemicals.......
All roads now lead to Natarbora, Sunda and AB in the middle of it all since 2016, now have an MOU to supply Natarbora 2028 plan, which remains LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG before any current planned Sunrise production 2032-34
Chuditch - Bayu - Natarbora Imports terminal - 3 x power stations converting to gas - Stable Electricity for all......
