Timor-Leste's great hopes for Greater Sunrise gas field
A decision on where to process gas from the Greater Sunrise field is expected by year’s end. The gas field lies about 140km off Timor-Leste’s south coast and 450km northwest of Darwin, Australia. Timor-Leste wants it on its shores, arguing it needs the project more than Australia. In the second part of CNA’s special series on Timor-Leste, Saifulbahri Ismail looks at the risks of Dili’s dependence on natural resources and the project’s impact on local communities.
