InterOil hosted Papua New Guinea (PNG) National Petroleum and Energy Minister Nixon Duban at its Raptor-1 and Antelope-5 drill sites at the Elk-Antelope gas field on Thursday, November 20, 2014. The visit was Minister Duban’s first visit to the gas field and underscores the importance of the project to PNG and its people.
Present at the visit were InterOil Chairman Chris Finlayson, CEO Dr Michael Hession, National Petroleum Company PNG Managing Director Wapu Sonk, Total PNG Managing Director Phillippe Blanchard and members of the media.
At a press conference hosted at the Raptor-1 drill site, Minister Duban said that the Elk-Antelope is a “milestone project for PNG, and globally”. It is “almost equivalent to PNG LNG” and “might be bigger and better”, with the potential to double the nation’s LNG output.
Minister Duban added that the government is keen to see the project start immediately and assured that the project license PRL15 will be renewed. He said the project has “total support from the government” and is on the right track to deliver on time. He also put his stamp of approval on Total as partner of the project.
