RE: Woodside Energy has struck an agreement with the #Timoreste government26 Nov 2025 10:56
Timor-based approximately 5 million tonne per annum LNG concept with a domestic gas facility and a helium extraction plant.
The Helium is a big boost, especially as Australia no longer has any current production, its only Helium plant Linde/BOC co-located at the Santos/ENI
Darwin East complex, its stopped production in 2023, when the pipeline turned off from Bayu-Undan to Darwin.
The plant supplied Australia and several countries in Easts Asia, given Bayu had Helium and TL catering for it in the new complex, presume they expect more fields in the Timor Leste section of the Timor Sea to also have some Helium content. Have you seen the price of standard He-4, if He-3 in the mix
its worth a fortune, recent years, wait for it , 80,000 - 140,000 times the price of He-4 and why NASA and Scientific players, looking to future mine the
MOON, where apparently it is abundant. Rare as Rocking Horse π© on Earth BUT essential for high grade cooling systems , like in MRI machines.
Multiple Northern Territory drill's have flowed world class rates of 10% He-4 with low levels of He-3 detected, every possibility Chuditch which is
nearer to NT Wells than Bayu, might also have an added bonus once some analysis finally done on a gas flow 28 years after the edge of field discoveryπ€
