Thinking to low, pre gas boom, below extract for Sunrise at Oil and Gas Conference, Shell thought Chuditch on development probably bigger, giving Chuditch , Bilby , Wombat (now chud chud NE chud SW) 5 tcf, with multiple leads to the West including Bandicoot (now Quokka) they thought Oil or more gas over LARGE Condensate fields.
Offshore Greater Sunrise: A $75 billion oil and gas giantβ
Timor Leste is the majority shareholder in the Greater Sunrise fields, containing more than 5.13 trillion cubic feet of gas, worth at least 50 billion dollars. The blocks contain 225.9 million barrels of condensate reserves, worth over $15 billion.
More recently when the two Andy's visited the Timor Leste Ambassador in London, the Ambassador in his statement said Chuditch worth over $10 BILLION to Timor Leste, at the time the NOC Timor Gap held 25% (since raised to 40%) Based on Boil's still limited 800-1200 sq km mapping (versus Shells 3,571 sq km) Making the smaller developed by Boil area worth over $40 BILLION, plus a lot of upside to come.
Likewise Shell placed a COS of 100% on all future Chuditch (ch1 discovery region) drills, which our CH2 is, with a SIX times estimated reservoir depth 149m v 25m ch1, that will result in an increase of GIIP/reserves etc, its only going to keep getting bigger.

https://thewest.com.au/business/bulls-n-bears/more-manganese-for-estrella-in-timor-leste-hills-c-14370389
Manganese is a transition metal with a multifaceted array of industrial alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels. It improves strength, workability, and resistance to wear. Manganese oxide is used as an oxidising agent; as a rubber additive; and in glass making, fertilisers, and ceramics. Manganese sulphate can be used as a fungicide.
Manganese is also an essential human dietary element, important in macronutrient metabolism, bone formation, and free radical defence systems. It is a critical component in dozens of proteins and enzymes.[6] It is found mostly in the bones, but also the liver, kidneys, and brain.
