Heres the description of the 2 applications currently infront of the ED/JA: (hhmm i will refer to ED from now on as - JEDA.....lol) - from back in Feb 2021

"The Joint Venture has received no communication from the National Offshore Petroleum Titles
Administrator (NOPTA) in respect of its current applications:
(1) For an extension, variation and suspension of the Permit which included the extension of the
permit title for up to two years made in January 2020 (which would extend the PEP11
permit term to 2023); or
(2) For a 24-month suspension of the Permit Year 4 work program commitments, with a
corresponding 24 month extension of the permit term which was accepted for processing by
NOPTA on 4th February 2021. The application has been made under the COVID-19 -Work
Bid Exploration Permits announcement released by the Federal Government on 20th April
2020. In that release the Government recognised that the COVID-19 pandemic was having a
significant impact on the offshore petroleum sector and that additional flexibility would be
required to assist titleholders to manage the COVID-19 crisis. The Joint Authority
confirmed in that release that it regarded the COVID-19 pandemic as a force majeure event."

Sooo.. how can JEDA claim to have a Prelim View of Refusal of the Second Application - that was applied under the Joint Authority confirmation that it regarded the COVID-19 pandemic as a FORCE Majeure event???? IS JEDA now claiming now that COVID-19 had no effect on PEP11?????....
