Alexander Downer diddled Timor Leste and gave the helium in the Bayu-Undan gas field away for free.
We also gave away the helium in the Greater Sunrise field to #Woodside Petroleum consortium.
“Helium is mostly recovered from flows of natural gas, and the Bayu-Undan field in the Timor Sea had more than enough to justify extraction.
“#ConocoPhillips, the operators of that field, got it for free, and sent it via pipeline to a liquified natural gas plant in Darwin. The US oil major then sold the helium fraction to BOC Australia, owned by the multinational industrial gases group Linde, which opened a plant next door to the Darwin LNG terminal in 2010.”
