Ann: COE: Sole Gas Sales Agreements to commence on 01/01/2021, page-6

i wouldn't have thought so. you don't need office staff or maintenance staff etc to run the processing. this is just my personal opinion but they took about 20 days to find a level that the processing plant could run at comfortably using only one side. then they ramped the other side up to TJ22.5 in about 4 days. i believe this caused foaming and they had to cut back to 34 to 35 for a couple of days. they have nominated TJ40 for tomorrow so i think within 3-4 days they will be achieving the target of TJ45. the bigger problem is getting to TJ68 which is what the plant was contracted for and ultimately about TJ100 when Manta comes on line and further when EMP starts sending gas. i am no expert but they are comfortably able to process TJ22.5. multiply 22.5 x3 ==Approx 68. i am thinking that down the track bringing the plant up to three sides will achieve this. Also, remember that there is an agreement in place to process gas for Emperor at Orbost. APA are in a prime position to capitalise on the projected shortfalls in gas in Vic from about 2023 onward. i am a holder in COE and i am confident that these (minor) glitches will get resolved quickly. good luck. as usual DYOR
