So, we've been pounding the table for 2 years that JAPEX would be in this project based on the agreement they signed with Petromin in April 2010. The big part of this was funding Petromin's share of their equity. But many have doubted. Guess what? It's happening. As well KOGAS. They and Japan (specifically Mitsui) have worked together many times and trust each other. Recently SC and PNG struck an agreement to work together and it was obvious they want KOGAS involved as well as to back Samsung and Daewoo with the FLNG's. Wouldn't at all be surprised that as part of this we get that 2nd FLNG which would draw Petromin and IOC back together. Success for everyone.
We would be wrong if this does come about to not recognize Somare's contribution to this whole partnership. It was he who traveled to Japan in March 2010 for the Japan-PNG Summit along with Petromin, IOC and others to sign agreements, acknowledge the long history of Japan and PNG, open up the new embassy there and bring home these agreements for Petromin and PNG.
Great find Maui!! Here's to all that have stuck together through this in the face of many critics and crooks. This could get fun once again!
