RE: Natural Gas breached $58 Sep 2021 20:24
Could be right but then could be I am looking through rose coloured spectacles
Still fancy them to say something before the bid round closes at the end of the month
budget last year showed the required allocation for the NOC Timor Gap 100% state
Those details for next years budget should be being arranged now during the CROP
meetings down as 2nd to 16th September on the website and Presidential scrutiny
and sign off on the 17th
If it comes out that this years allocation of $71m is much larger for 2022 then something
big is gonna be moving and there are only 2 known biggies Sunrise and Chudith both of
which could be 1,500+ Mboe each in play far bigger than the extra reserves being chased
at Bayu currently estimated at around 30 Mboe and the redevelopment of an old BHP
oil field Buffalo again small in comparison possible reserves of 30-40 Mbo
Government fund Timor Gap and since the Majors walked out they now have to also fund
Sunrise themselves to the tune of 56% of it no freebie ride on that one for T/GAP unlike
ours and the other new license to be issued for the bid round if an agreement has been
made to FID and progress Sunrise to sales then our own Chuditch becomes worth some
large billions for an interested partner or take over by a top tier or Major IOC
Without that green light or some quiet words in the background that a plan one way or the
other will be in place when the time comes WHY would they return if nothing has changed
since leaving
Island , all gas to be processed on the Island
Island had no facilities then and still no facilities now
