One of my posts has disappeared, here's how it went
Nice on Filthy , see that as good news for Chuditch, Natarbora chosen over Beaco , is a big bonus for any future developer, brings a whole new range of possibilities. If 2nd Project the TL Gas/LNG Import facility is also put back to colocation, as it was under Gusmao's original Tasi Mane project plan, double bonus.
Natarbora is a straight line North to the central South Coast (pipeline on FFD option) likewise, shipborne supplies also, a quicker and easier sail to Natarbora, vice travelling all around the Island to Metinaro (near Dili) on the North Coast.
The Import facility, planned as a single string, to feed the 3 being converted to Gas power Stations, one of which is near Natarbora, it would not take long to get up and running, vice the up to 5 string Export facility and pipeline.
Now talking about moving the Oil/Condensate and petro-chemical plants to Natarbora vice current old refinery at Betano, which was scheduled for refurb and expansion (under Tasi Mane)
Rauk announced the Imports project in late 2021 with a target date of 2025/2026 all completed (supplying 3 pwr stations)
A four year plan, if now announced to go ahead, would be 2028/2029.
Those who have been here, more than five minutes, might remember the old BOD, targeting first Chuditch production in that timeline, which as Rauk's original plan, would still be years before Sunrise available (now est 2032)
Natarbora great news for us, opens up new options, plus initial shipborne cost savings.
All falling into place nicely..........now only 2 steps from heaven.....GLALTH.
