Incorrect brolga

The $6b figure included all field development. This project included financing costs, subsea wellheads, lng facilities and pipelines all in the near artic. The project is 4.3m pa.

Now if sengkang was a similar size it would cost $ 1.7b ex the upstream development (the number i remember was $2-3b or about $2per mmscf) ex the generators (about $500m ) and an altogether more favourable place to build, and I alsonote the sengkang project is the easy engineering compared to artic subsea.

This confirms the ewcs point that there is nothing much special about the costs of their project. The magic sauce is the modelar approach allowing smaller fields of stranded cheap to be delivered to market.

I will see if I can dig out the upstream costs as a link.

In the meantime you should stick to second guessing shipping routes, at least it is a 50:50 chance of getting the direction right as opposed to comparing apples to oranges and being 100% wrong..repeatedly.
