May 30, 2023 – Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
Marking yet another milestone for the Papua LNG project, six (6) of the required petroleum applications licences were submitted to the Department of Petroleum and Energy (DPE).
DPE Secretary Mr David Manau while addressing the key stakeholders present at the submission, stated that his department will continue the review and evaluation of each submission and as the Front End Engineering and Design phase progresses, they will work to complete the process.
Minister for Petroleum and Energy Hon. Kerenga Kua applauded TotalEnergies EP PNG (TEP PNG) for filing the application for a Petroleum Development License (PDL) in a timely manner which will now take the department several months to review.
TEP PNG Managing Director Jean-Marc Noiray noted that this positive step marked the continued streaming-up of the Project.
“Sticking to the highest principles of quality and compliance, are absolute requirements for this world class Project to succeed”.

He thanked Secretary Manau and the DPE team for their steady support to the progress of the whole Project, including the very efficient way in which the LOBID (Landowner Beneficiary Identification) process was recently concluded for the upstream part of the Project area.
He acknowledged the support of joint venture partners ExxonMobil and Santos for their constructive involvement in the submission of the license applications.
Having submitted the Environment Impact Report to fellow regulator, the Conservation Environment Protection Authority (CEPA) in 2020, a draft National Content Plan is the next essential piece of work, to be submitted imminently to DPE.
