There will be news, at least from the TL and China side of things, already MOU's in place for Infrastructure , Agriculture and Tech, Presidential visit after the TL Ministerial team spent a week in China recently, this will be another sign off ceremony, a thing both Horta and Xi relish.
Islands domestic security GAS plan , still not been updated , FID was by end of 2023 or at the latest Q1 2024, long gone, China upgraded TL to BRI Level II and stated now committed to "Infrastructure Construction", only 3 big projects on the Ministry of Strategic Planning and Infrastructure books, all of which Chuditch could become involved in.
Metinaro Northern project near Dili P.I.T petroleum Import terminal , includes Gas/LNG Import facility and 90-120 day domestic security LNG Tank Farm, delayed pending funding (TL need China's money to build/Construction)
Chuditch, update still delayed/backing up, making it seem , more and more , we are part of the plan.
Both projects made for each other, FPSO 1-2 Wells early doors, Chuditch drilling Dec 2024/Jan 2025 (AB Comment) with probably slid from original timeline given by PM Rauk in 2022 Metinaro and TL Gas powered ASAP or by 2025/2026
States on their website, the plan is to use gas when available , lots of gas already available, comment can only mean planning to use their own GAS, not external imports. First up Chuditch , long before Sunrise sees if ever daylight (2030/31 tenders)
This weekends meeting Horta and Xi , should reveal more on the promised Chinese assistance in Infrastructure and Oil and Gas development..........GLA
