Oceanic Exploration
Feasibility Study for the East Timor Pipeline


The following values were calculated/assumed:

Yearly Consumption  
East Timor population 820,000
Capita per year 25 mmBtu (Philippines 22mmBtu)
Total mmBtu per year 20,500,000
Gas (scf of gas produces 1027Btu) 19,960 mmscf/year

Preliminary calculations have been conducted using the following pipeline parameters:

  • Outside diameter    10inch
  • Wall thickness          less than 25mm

Calculations show that a 10-inch pipeline produces over 24,000 mmscf/year of gas, which indicates that this size may be sufficient to provide the domestic market.

6.1 CONCLUSIONS

  • A 28-inch pipeline to feed into an LNG plant is potentially feasible.
  • A 10-inch pipeline would be adequate to supply the domestic market of East Timor.
