Ok, less than 2 years doesn't mean less than 1 year either. I expect this to be in production in less than 2 years, as everybody said this was development-ready, which is not as it requires a FDP with a longer than initially planned deadline. There has been production from some of the fields in the cluster, so the appraised oil and gas volumes are not as interesting as ZENGAS says. From Enquest's RNS, it seems they are more interested in the undeveloped discoveries, so my guess is that they are planning to conduct some appraisal dilling in those prospects before the FDP. The work programme may not include them as mandatory, but I estimate they will if the data supports the presence of untested commercial amounts of oil and gas. Let's see what they get from the Kertang farm-out, but it could finance this development without requiring any placement. I just expected better than this TBH.
