Sunda Energy CEO on H1 2025 progress and upcoming milestones

Episode Summary

Sunda Energy PLC (AIM:SNDA) CEO Andy Butler talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s interim results and project updates in Timor-Leste and across Southeast Asia. Butler explained that while the company faced logistical hurdles related to offshore helicopter availability, progress has been made to resolve the issue and secure a suitable rig. He confirmed that Sunda Energy is now targeting a revised drilling start in early 2026. “We are making a lot of progress over the summer months to address those [issues],” Butler said, adding that a larger helicopter has now been secured to enable safe offshore operations. The discussion also highlighted the strategic importance of the Chuditch gas field. With a mid-case discovery size of 1.2 trillion cubic feet, Butler noted that Chuditch could play a key role in Timor-Leste’s long-term energy development plans, alongside other major fields in the region. Sunda Energy is working closely with the government to integrate the project into broader national infrastructure and export goals. Beyond Timor-Leste, the company has applied for two offshore blocks in the Philippines and is pursuing additional opportunities across Southeast Asia as part of its strategy to target large-scale gas resources.
