Large Landslide at PNG LNG Komo Airfield

Don't they need this airfield to bring in essential equipment for their CSP and NG compressor/pumping stations? Seems to me we heard delayed completion of that airfield was already impacting their project timeline. This can't help.

From OSH:

..."In addition, the company reported that the PNG liquefied natural gas project, which is partnered and operated by ExxonMobil subsidiary Esso Highlands, was about 70% complete and on track for first LNG sales in 2014.

“A number of major pieces of project infrastructure are now at, or nearing, completion, with the remainder of works progressing generally in line with schedule,” Oil Search managing director Peter Botten said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Importantly, runway pavement at the Komo airfield is progressing well and first cargo flights, which will bring in key items of equipment for the construction of the Hides Gas Conditioning Plant (HGCP), are planned to commence in early 2013,” he added."...
