Timor-Leste has outlined a series of upstream petroleum initiatives that will take place, including the start of the Sunrise development, once the new maritime boundary treaty between Timor-Leste and Australia has been ratified.
Gualdino da Silva, the president of Timor-Leste's national petroleum and minerals regulator (ANPM), said the country's objectives for 2019 are to ratify the treaty, begin the development of the Sunrise project, and open up new offshore and onshore areas for the exploration and development of oil and gas.
