Probably boil it down to by pointing out that they have been running pilot for 3 years now so what mngt sys / safet sys / risk based thinking sys do they have at the moment to cover their operations.

They have already engaged a full suite of contractors to get where they are today.

For them to say they are not in commercial operations is a little either nieve or dishonest. Also they have a ML so they can go into production tomorrow. Besides remember thr big announcement last year "commercialisation of cbm resource - ie we hooked up a 60kva generator". They had all the proof of concept phrases to back it.

As for iso18001 for tlou have now it would simply have there current activities -- ie. Running the pilot and going to meetings covered but importantly a review process in place so when things change they have processes to capture new safety risks.

As noted above they are already producing gas, handling the dewafering and generating electricity so iso 9001/14001/18001 would be so easy to get and for the projects sake it would better to get it sooner rather than later - less transition stuff later and makes documentation process clearer to everyone earlier so they are familiar with it
