Greater Sunrise12 May 2025 12:00
Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MPRM), Francisco da Costa Monteiro, stated that the National Petroleum Authority (ANP) and Timor Gap and Petroleum have started negotiations on the Greater Sunrise project following Australia's recent election of a Prime Minister. "We believe that within the next one or two weeks, there will be intensive contacts again to re-establish and intensify negotiations so that we can achieve results in a short time. In recent months, the process has slowed down slightly because Australia was in the midst of its election cycle, which only concluded last week. There are three important documents: one called the petroleum mining code, the production sharing contract, and the fiscal regimes. These need to be finalized quickly. At the same time, the joint venture partners must agree on a unified concept to bring resources to Timor-Leste, he highlighted. "We want to finalize this within one year, but it must follow its calendar so that in the following years we can detail the engineering and construction processes, which can commence in 2027-2028. Ultimately, production could begin around 2031-2032, he affirmed. **Relevant News:**
