A little bit more on the conference below I managed to glean from a friend at vitol who wasnt in attendance but knew the BD team that were.
- Timor sees chudditch and to a lesser degree sunrise as beginning a revival for their natural resources sector and giving them gravitas regionally as an exporter.
- they were praising Sunda and the impact they have had with their loyalty and commitment to the country. Expected drill Q1 at present.
Separately and not from conference - I understand DD is ongoing with a few parties re a farmnout. I’ve made my views clear on this in that they would likely be keft with 10-15pc. However I also understand that a farmnout on similar terms couples with an interest bearing loan note with the state oil company to be repaid post appraisal on a refinancing is also a possibility.
Phillipines is apparently pushed to Alan estimated late oct to early November and a new venture expected in coming two months - they have also entering the Malaysian bid round.
