The company proposing to build the world's first LNG floating processing plant in the Timor Sea is confident the project will go ahead, despite lacking approval from the East Timorese government.
Last week, Woodside stated its preference for processing gas from the Greater Sunrise field on a floating platform.
The managing director of Woodside, Don Voelte, was in Dili yesterday to discuss the proposal with government authorities.
"We think that we've found several stakeholders, very important stakeholders yesterday, that have an open mind, that want to see the detail," he says.
"It's almost that some people in their government, bless their hearts, put a position in without looking at any of the input first."
While the floating platform means that Darwin will now directly miss out on the billion dollar development, NT Chief Minister Paul Henderson is confident there will still be service and supply opportunities.
"I certainly want to see Darwin rivalling Perth in 20, 30 years' time to be the centre for the oil and gas industry, particularly the engineering capability side of that industry, near to where these fields are located."
