Western Timor Sea Holds Large Gas Deposit:
Survey
The western
part of the Timor Sea in East Nusa Tenggara province holds a huge gas deposit
of up to 10 trillion cubic feet (TCF), an activist for Timor issues said
Wednesday.
"The gas
reserves were found by Inpex Masela Ltd when conducting a survey some time
ago," said Ferdi Tanoni, director of the West Timor Care Foundation
(YPTB). Inpex Masela is a Pertamina work contract (KKS) partner. They completed
the survey of the Masela block located off the coast of the western part of
NTT. Ferdi said he hoped the government
would order Inpex Masela to begin exploiting the gas deposits so that they
could be utilized immediately.
He asked the
oil and gas regulating body BP Migas to involve local administrations and the
people in the development of the gas reserves to benefit local residents. He
said he had received a report through YPTB's network stating that the Italian
oil firm ENI Indonesia had won a tender for the development of the Masela
block.
Under the
contract, ENI Indonesia has committed three years toward conducting studies,
seismic surveys and an exploration. The foundation has campaigned for the
rights of East Nusa Tenggara people from oil and gas explorations in the Timor
Gap since Jakarta and Canberra signed an agreement to exploit the oil and gas
resources. The agreement gave Australia the lion's share of oil and gas
reserves in Timor Gap, an ocean area between Australia, Timor Leste and
Indonesia, Ferdi said. Australia,
however, has cooperated closely with Timor Leste after the 1999 referendum in
which the former Portuguese colony voted to secede from Indonesia. Timor Leste expected independence to allow
them to fully utilize their oil and gas potentials to develop, but Australia is
dominating the profit sharing, Ferdi said. Source: The Jakarta Post.Internet.
