Oceanic Exploration Feasibility Study for the East Timor Pipeline

The approximate distance from Suai to:

• Bayu Undan is approximately 230 km
• Greater Sunrise is approximately 275 km

As Bayu Undan is closer to Suai this was selected as the primary route to East Timor.

3.3 LANDFALL

As part of this work INTEC was asked to consider the landfall at Suai.

Other landfall locations may be more suitable for the pipeline but since no detailed project information is available, a detail review is not possible.

The landfall at Suai has been selected because of the following facts:

• The pipeline distance between Bayu Undan and Suai is relatively short.
• It is understood that the Suai location is relatively clear of industrial developments.
• From Reference [3] the water depths close to shore appear to show a lower gradient than other locations.

If a separate pipeline was required from Greater Sunrise to East Timor a location to the east of East Timor could alternatively be considered.

3.4 CONCLUSION

• There are significant hydro-carbon reserves within 300 km of East Timor.
• Of the larger reserves, Bayu Undan is closer to Suai East Timor than Greater Sunrise. A landfall at Suai is considered acceptable.
