Woodside to negotiate Timor Sea gas project in new year
Oil and gas producer Woodside Energy plans to start negotiating a Timor
Sea gas project with East Timor early in the new year.
The talks will follow similar negotiations over another gas project in
the region.
Woodside and its co-venture partners plan to develop the Greater
Sunrise gas field north-west of Darwin, in the Timor Sea.
About 20 per cent of the gas field lies in the area jointly controlled
by Australia and East Timor.
Woodside says it will start negotiating with both countries in the
first few months of the year.
The company says it hopes to follow the lead of Phillips Petroleum,
which last week reached an agreement with East Timor on developing another
Timor Sea gas field, Bayu-Undan.
Phillips hopes that agreement will be signed on East Timor's
Independence Day in May.
