The Minister of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and Spokesperson in the Greater Sunrise discussions, Agio Pereira, met today, October 22, 2024, at the Government Palace, with representatives of the Japanese oil company INPEX, to continue the strategic dialogue on the development of the Greater Sunrise project and the development opportunities on the South Coast of Timor-Leste. In attendance were Chris Wilson, INPEX’s Executive Vice President of Operations, Yosuke Ueda, INPEX’s representative in Timor-Leste, and Brodie Ryota Sugai, Business Development Consultant.
This was the third meeting between Minister Agio Pereira and INPEX, following meetings held in Dili in June and in Darwin in July this year, with the aim of exploring possible partnerships in the development of energy infrastructure in Timor-Leste, including the potential of Greater Sunrise.
INPEX, which holds a 9.6% stake in the Bayu-Undan Joint Venture, officially opened its office in Timor-Leste last June, demonstrating its willingness to expand its activities in the region. Recognized as Japan’s largest oil and gas exploration and production company, INPEX has extensive experience in the global energy sector, with investments in several nations, including Indonesia and Australia.
During the meeting, INPEX presented proposals to support the development of Greater Sunrise, including solutions for gas transportation and distribution. These initiatives aim to promote energy and industrial development in Timor-Leste, creating new economic and employment opportunities for the population.
Minister Agio Pereira stressed the importance of maintaining these discussions and exploring all possibilities that will help Timor-Leste to make the most of its natural resources, in order to boost economic growth and job creation.
Since April, Wood Australia has been conducting a conceptual study on the development of the Greater Sunrise gas fields. The study aims to identify the best options for the development, processing and commercialisation of the extracted gas, with completion scheduled for the end of the year.
The Greater Sunrise gas fields are located approximately 140 km south of the coast of Timor-Leste. The consortium responsible for the development of the Greater Sunrise fields (Sunrise Joint Venture) is composed of TIMOR GAP, which holds 56.6%, Woodside, with 33.44%, and Osaka Gas Australia, with 10%.
The development of Greater Sunrise and the pipeline to the south coast of Timor-Leste are national priorities, essential to the future growth and economic development of the country. The Government will continue to evaluate the best strategies to develop the project, ensuring that it progresses in a sustainable manner and brings significant benefits to the nation and the region.
