September 2004 The Case for Saving Sunrise
http://www.etan.org/lh/misc/04sunrise.html
"[oil and gas] Stakeholders,
including oil companies, the Australian
government, international financial institutions and aid agencies, are
telling Timor-Leste what it should do, in light of their respective
interests. The most important stakeholder – the people of Timor-Leste –
would be best served by sequential, rather than simultaneous,
development of Timor-Leste’s two major petroleum fields, postponing
Sunrise development for at least a decade. This would allow time to
make wiser decisions, and would help Timor-Leste maximize its petroleum
revenues. Although neither Australia nor the oil companies currently
prefer this path, Timor-Leste’s government is responsible for the
long-term well-being of its own citizens, and that should be the
primary consideration. This paper presents the reasons for developing
Greater Sunrise after Bayu-Undan, saving Sunrise gas in the ground for
10-15 years, to maximize benefits for Timor-Leste." Submitted to the
government of Timor-Leste by Charles Scheiner, La’o Hamutuk 28 July 2004
