Palm: "Yep, but we'll get more bang for Total's bucks on the appraisal and exploration well(s) that they are paying for during this very important time of certification. One might almost get a little optimistic during this window."
Indeed Palm.
TOTAL probably has 18 months to make an Engineering/Procurement/Construction (EPC) Lump Sum deal at the good prices Hession is alluding to.
The additional appraisal and exploration well(s) drilled in parallel with the FEED should not prevent TOTAL from making the EPC Deal while the window is open.
TOTAL usually works hand in glove with Technip. I don't see any reason why they would go with anyone else. Technip built the Yemen Balhaf LNG Plant. It was a decent project ... too bad it's in the wrong place.
TOTAL needs to get another LNG plant in the works soon to replace the lost production at Balhaf and the lost project in Yamal Russia with the crooks from Novatek, which is down the proverbial toilet bowl without a paddle (or something like that).

So, it's to all PRL 15 partners' advantage to move things along very briskly now and if OSH plays "nice" here, they may look at PNG LNG as some nice starter wood for the trail they blaze across PNG.
