Now STO have stated in announcement that it is expected 8 weeks.

These companies need to put out comprehensive announcement that confirms which parts of the infrastructure they are talking about and have it in a combined announcement

The media doesn't understand small differences and just what a massive widespread project over large distances and terrain and the analysts are shooting from hips speculating and not sure they understand many aspects very well or have common sense.. At least STO mention the bring forward of other maintenance that would not normally be achieved without shutdown etc. .

I am actually surprised there isn't massive shorting while info vacuunm exists and then a pump afterwards on business back to normal and facts on insurance , well damage etc etc.? . Bit of a crap shoot at the minute and just relying on huge resources of partners that they can focus on PNG to get production up and then back to decent rate .

PNG LNG Update - 5 March 2018

Santos has been advised by the PNG LNG operator that following the earthquakes in the Southern Highlands and Hela Provinces during the week of 26 February 2018, preliminary assessments of damage to PNG LNG facilities indicate it may take approximately eight weeks to complete repairs and restore production.

Santos has a 13.5% interest in PNG LNG which is one of Santos’ five core long-life natural gas assets.

All Santos’ and PNG LNG project personnel are safe and accounted for.

Santos is deeply saddened by the loss of life and personal injury suffered by communities in Papua New Guinea and will donate US$200,000 to aid agencies to provide assistance to isolated communities who urgently need food, water and medical supplies.

PNG LNG expertise and resources have already been deployed to assist the humanitarian relief and recovery effort, including assessing impacted communities and delivering immediate resource needs.

Recovery work at the Hides Gas Conditioning Plant is focused on restoring camp and associated facilities. While the plant is safely shut in, there has been some damage to various pieces of equipment and foundation supports that is yet to be fully inspected and repaired. Initial visual inspections of the major processing equipment indicate they have not been significantly impacted.

Surveillance of the pipeline has confirmed it has not been damaged.

Production wells remain safely shut in. A detailed inspection of some well pads has been hampered due to earthquake-related impacts to the roads. It is hoped this work can be completed within the next week.

Komo airfield will remain closed and options are being developed to return the airfield to service as soon as possible.

In addition, the operator has brought forward scheduled maintenance activity at the LNG Plant and has redeployed maintenance and support staff from the Hides Gas Conditioning Plant to assist.

From what I understand the biggest issue maybe the Komo airfield, critical in getting supplies, personnel etc in and out of the region. Apparently cavernous lateral cracks have opened up along the runway, I would suggest 8 weeks would be extremely optimistic to have the airfield back up and running.
I hope they do for both the region and shareholders, it is an important piece of infrastructure.
