  Methanol Australia managing director Chris Hart said the project was technically and commercially viable.
  
  "When operational, it is planned that the plant would produce 3.45 million tonnes of methanol each year," he said.

  The Managing Director of Methanol Australia, Mr Chris Hart, said today that the project was both technically and commercially viable and currently held adequate off-take arrangements for this stage of the project's development.
  
  "When operational it is planned that the plant would produce 3.45 million tonnes of methanol each year.It is proposed to export the methanol throughout Asia and North America", he said.
  
  "When fully developed, export revenues are forecast to be in excess of $AUD 750M a year".
  
  Mr. Hart said the project could open up many business opportunities for companies based in Darwin as many major components could be fabricated and supplied from there.
  
  "Depending on local technical expertise and availability there could be several hundred jobs available during the construction phase and when in operation", he said.
  
  He estimated that between $AUD50 to $AUD100 million of construction contracts could be let in each of the two phases of the project commencing in 2005.
  
  Mr. Hart said the company had sufficient funds to develop the project to the point where an unconditional commitment could be made.During this period over the next two years resolution of the equity participants in the project should be finalised.MA had also just received additional funding from Santos.
  
  The first phase of the project is estimated to cost $AUD1.3 billion.It would involve the construction of a concrete island on which the methanol plant would be built.
  
  Mr Hart said it was proposed that the gas supply would be sourced from the adjacent Evans Shoal gas field and its owners would separately develop the upstream production facilities.
  
  The gas-field is owned by Shell Development Australia (50%), Santos Limited (40%) and Osaka Gas (10%).

  Managing Director, Chris Hart, said the decision by Industry, Tourism and Resources Minister, Ian Macfarlane, to grant MPF to the Timor Sea LNG Project and the Tassie Shoal Methanol Project would help speed the projects' development.
  ...
  "MPF had originally been granted to the Tassie Shoal Methanol Project in December 2001", Hart said.
  ...
  Hart said recent studies and laboratory tests showed that NT/P68 showed considerable promise with the potential for significant liquids rich gas.He said a well drilled in the permit by Arco in 1972 (Heron-1) intersected a 50 m gas bearing zone in a fractured carbonate section of the Darwin formation.This zone had an estimated structural closure of 1,200 km2 and has been named Epenarra.
  
  "Results of basin modelling and geochemistry analysis have supported the view that Epenarra's gas may contain significant quantities of condensate", Hart said.

  Chris Hart, managing director of Methanol Australia, the company COIL has invested in and which will build the plants, was recently in London and found time to flesh out these plans for oilbarrel.com.
  
  First, an update from the Kyrgyz Republic.Cambrian's heavy oil lies in the Beshkent-Togap field in the southwest of this land-locked country, which is sandwiched between China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
  ...
  As for the methanol and LNG projects, Chris Hart explains that Cambrian has become involved through Cambrian Mining, which owns 28 per cent of COIL and is something of an energy conglomerate.These are promising projects, not least because Australia has many undeveloped gas discoveries that have been stranded by the tyranny of distance, which makes pipelines very expensive.LNG and GTL projects are, therefore, an obvious way to shift these stranded reserves to market.
  
  Other companies have been stymied not so much by the capital costs of LNG and methanol plans but because of associated planning and native title issues, the transportation costs if pipelines are involved and the high labour costs of assembling plant.Mr Hart reckons Methanol Australia has cracked these problems.Environmental approvals were granted for two 1.8 million tonnes per annum (tpa) methanol plants in December 2002 and one 3 million tpa LNG plant in May 2004.

  MEO managing director Chris Hart says the structure has the capacity to hold 6 trillion cubic feet of gas in place. ,Heron-2 appraisal will be the first well and will include a horizontal component in the target reservoir as well as a long production test if gas is found,' he explains. ,We also have a nearby exploration prospect called Blackwood where we recently firmed up a drilling location by running a 600km 2D seismic survey.'

  MEO Managing Director Christopher Hart said both international oil companies and "very competent contractors" are now advocating this approach as current indications of construction costs for onshore plants is becoming prohibitive.
