Massive Gas Field, page-95

unfortunately your post on timing is truly misrepresented to give anyone the impression it can be done to 3 or 4 years. Either you are inexperienced or intentionally deflecting attention from the facts
1. APA work states 51 months to first gas after FID and after field appraisal is completed. The field appraisal is risk capital and will take at least 24 months

So without your estimates about the time to secure a partner, Govt approval for the drilling and the gas plant and subsea pipeline as well as arranging project financing for $500 m. Plus plus we are looking at a min of 8 years to first gas. No wonder they haven’t been able to secure a farm in partner. Too risky, too expensive and takes too long.
