Hi Bitbarrel,
Assuming that the EUB approval comes in June 2008.
The site preparation (which is quite large) will take about 3 months, to September, 2008.
Then, it will take about 12 months to build the Algar site. That will probably finish about September, 2009. The commissioning and the gas to all well pairs will take about 4 months to the first of January, 2010 and then they may take the better part of that year to get up to 10,000 barrels a day.
What I've done here is just use similar timing to what Pod 1 has taken, starting at June 2008 with the EUB approval and it works out that Pod 2 will be producing 9 - 10,000 barrels a day sometime in the fall of 2010.
I hope this helps because by using Pod 1 as a guide, we can see that it takes some time to apply for and put a fully producing pod in place.
Best Wishes,
