Oceanic Exploration
Feasibility Study for the East Timor Pipeline


1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL

Oceanic Exploration has commissioned INTEC to examine the technical and economic feasibility of a pipeline to East Timor.

The primary fields considered for the pipeline are:

  • Bayu Undan
  • Greater Sunrise

The proposed landfall is Suai in East Timor.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

This desktop study was commissioned for the technical feasibility and cost analysis for pipelines from Greater Sunrise and Bayu Undan to East Timor and Australia. The options are listed below:

Option 1
A pipeline of sufficient size to feed an LNG plant to be built at Suai in East Timor.

Option 2
A pipeline to Suai that is of sufficient size to deliver the domestic energy requirements of the 820,000 people of East Timor.

Option 3
The optimum way of connecting Greater Sunrise and Bayu Undan to East Timor via a pipeline system.

In addition, estimate the cost of a pipeline between Bayu Undan and Darwin in Australia.
