Probably not, Sundagas on the Island and helped them set up their system
long before Chuditch awarded to them via NON TENDER (services rendered)
or Boil arrived on the scene (failed nepotism rto)
Just another extension until the locals sort their π©out, this now brings the
period of combined years 1 and 2 , to if not extended again a total of 4 years.
The bid round players , still not signed off on their PSC's , originally due by
Jun/July 2022, November extended by ANPM to by end of year or February
at the latest...........Feb long since drifted away, with no signatures ,other
that local Government owned NOC Timor Gaps 100% own license......π
Remains as it's been since day 1, Industry mistrust and some honest clarity
required by TL Gov, Boil first said in talks Q3 2021, then will re double efforts
Summer 2022.........little doubt plenty waiting in the wings.
All remain sceptical until firm announcements made over Beaco/Pipeline HUB
(Multi fields to TL not just sunrise)
September 2021 , TL announced its NEW studies for Island production, that included
Chuditch going to Beaco on commision, with both Sunrise and Kelp (no license or
operator currently 14.5 tcf discovered by Mobil 1998 same as Chud/Shell).
The two bid round main non signatories , Santos and ENI (Area R wider bayu region
and are P, long thought the hydrocarbon kitchen area that links and feeds both
Chuditch and Sunrise.
Santos/eni/korea have plans for a second new pipeline to their OWN facilties in Darwin
production pipeline, with the now current idle pipeline Darwin-Bayu to become waste
disposal and carbon capture storage, in Bayu's long depleted main reservoir.
Will they be allowed to send TL waters discoveries to their own facilities ?
Likewise, Baron/SG have long talked , looked at many possible paths but
long ago settled on FPSO (again Island multi refs to Chuditch to Beaco)
Nothings changed, huge asset , like Sunrise on Woodside books at $0.00c
when valued at 2021 oil and gas conference (pre gas price boom) at a mere
$65- $75 Billion over an expected 30 year production life.......
Gunsmo/Horta bff's with a plan , now back in charge, Woodside and Australia's
card marked.........things SHOULD now become clear and move quicker than the
snail pace employed by Yeo/Boil all these years ππ...........GLA
