While the headline EPC award is now public, these details have not yet been released:
-
Specifics on contract value, execution schedule, and staffing or equipment mobilisation.
-
Updates from ARA or the Chinese firms confirming mobilization, crew deployment, or site works.
-
Any fieldwork or drilling milestones such as NT‑2 hook-up, CH‑1 spud, or NT‑1 workover commencement.
🧭 What to Watch Next
Here’s what would constitute fresh, high-impact news in the short term:
-
EPC contractor’s mobilisation notice, photos, or staff announcements.
-
Reporting from ARA or TPDC on the start of on-ground activities.
